In the late 19th century the American iron and steel industry rose to international prominence largely because of high-grade iron ores taken from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Upper Michigan's Marquette, Menominee, and Gogebic iron ranges provided the bulk of the ores that fed American blast furnaces from 1880 until 1900, when ores from the Mesabi Range enabled Minnesota to surpass Michigan as the leading iron ore-producing state. Even after 1900, however, Michigan continued to supply around a quarter of the nation's iron ore. '
