The community is located 13 miles northeast of the city of Duluth, at the junction of North Shore Scenic Drive (County 61) and Ryan Road (County Road 50). HistoryFrench River had also been known by the name Clifton during the early settlement years. Clifton, the first townsite surveyed in the United States section of the North Shore, was platted west of the mouth of the French River in 1855. The river was known to early explorers as Riviere de Francais. Rumors of nearby copper deposits resulted in widespread prospecting and townsite planning in the 1850s. Like many of the projected towns, Clifton never developed. From 1864 to 1866, the French River Mining Company and the North Shore Mining Company dug several exploratory shafts, but failed to locate profitable copper deposits. Extensive lumbering operations were carried on in the vicinity during the 1880s.[2] References1. ^{{cite gnis|661327|French River, Minnesota}} 2. ^{{cite web |author= Keith L |title= HMdb.org – The Historical Marker Database |url= http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=43766 |work= Near Duluth in St. Louis County, Minnesota — The American Midwest (Upper Plains) |publisher= J.
