Idington is a very small place in Minnesota, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government.

Idington is located in Angora Township, which is part of Saint Louis County. It's also found within the beautiful Sturgeon River State Forest.

Where is Idington Located?

Idington is situated in the northern part of Minnesota. It lies between two other communities: Cook and Virginia.

The community is easy to find because it's right at the crossing of a major road, U.S. Highway 53, and a smaller local road called Saint Louis County Road 936, also known as Hannula Road. Another road nearby is County Road 467, or Heino Road.

What's it Like in Idington?
