Dickinson County was named for Donald M Dickinson who was Postmaster General under President Grover Cleveland. Iron was first found in the late 1840's. The Chapman Mine became one of the largest iron ore producers during the period from 1880 until it closed in 1934. Today Dickinson still has some iron ore mining and lumbering.
