LAWLER, a village in Salo Township, section 19; developed as a sawmill town; in 1910 the Soo Line came through as one connecting point between the Crosby iron mines and Duluth, with Lawler Junction in section 24. On October 12, 1918, sparks from a train smokestack just west of Lawler started a fire, which winds spread to Moose Lake and Cloquet, and destroyed all of the village except for Charlie Spicola's store and the Lawler Hotel. A post office operated 1909-64.
