Talk:West Virginia, Minnesota

No refs and you dont care

Hey- I spent time looking up a ref stating clearly that WV Minnesota was absorbed by Iron Mountain in 1970, I was agreeing here. Honestly, I dont really care enough put whatever you want up there....Who needs a ref anyway??? AND can ANYONE tell me why a map is confusing, I dont reall reading this in the wiki stye guide. Do we imagine where it was? Do we ignore the GNIS data? Do we use words to describe it was a former community that got absorbed in 1970 with a ref? OH HELL NO, we will take your word for it. No worries, I will NEVER edit this article again......Coal town guy (talk) 01:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

I live HERE in Saint Louis County, Minnesota. I have lived here all my life. The unincorporated community of West Virginia, MN does not exist period, nor was it widely known as West Virginia, MN from 1953 to 1960. It was primarily known then as Nichols Township, sections 12 and 13 to be specific. Nichols Township was dissolved in 1972, and that same year the city of Mountain Iron was incorporated in place of the township. It has ONLY been known as Mountain Iron since 1972. Mountain Iron is one of the four cities that make up the Quad Cities of Minnesota. The other Quad Cities of northern Minnesota being Virginia, Eveleth, and Gilbert. All four cities border each other. You are making it into something it never was. Chasebuck (talk) 03:49, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
