Superior
Population: 27244

Superior is a city in, and the county seat of, Douglas County. Richard I. Bong Airport (KSUW) serves the city and surrounding
communities.

Trivia:

Superior was the final port of call for the SS Edmund Fitzgerald before her sinking on November 10, 1975.

The first-known inhabitants of what is now Douglas County were Mound Builders. These people appeared on the shores of Lake Superior
 sometime after the latest glacier receded. They mined copper in the Minong Range and at Manitou Falls on the Black River. They
pounded this metal into weapons, implements, and ornaments, some of which were later found buried as grave goods in mounds with
their dead. Their civilization was eventually overrun by other tribes, mainly of Muskhogean and Iroquois stock, and they disappeared
 as a distinct culture in late prehistoric American times.
