| - Bemidji is a town of about 13,000 people in north-central Minnesota, United States.
- Bemidji is a city in Beltrami County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 11,917 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Beltrami County6. Bemidji is best known nationally as being the "curling capital" of the United States. The skip of the Bronze Medal winning men's national curling team competing at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino is Bemidji native Pete Fenson, 37, and the skip of the women's national curling team, also competing at the Olympics, is fellow Bemidjian Cassandra Johnson, 24. Bemidji natives and sisters Kari Liapis Erickson and Stacy Liapis represented the US in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Bemidji lies on the southwest shore of Lake Bemidji, the northernmost lake feeding the Mississippi River. Its name derives from the Ojibwe Bay-may-ji-ga-maug (Double-Vowel orthography: bemijigamaag), meaning "lake that traverses another body of water". On occasion in Ojibwe, the city of Bemidji is called Wabigamaang (at the lake channel/narrows) because part of the city is situated on the Lakes Bemidji-Irving narrows, located on the south end of Lake Bemidji and extends to the eastern shore of Lake Irving. Bemidji is the home to Bemidji State University, Northwest Technical College and Oak Hills Christian College. The statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are well-known landmarks. Bemidji is also the first city on the Mississippi River. The lake attracts water recreation for summer tourists. Lake Bemidji State Park is nearby. NFL Pro Football Hall of Famer Dave Casper was born in Bemidji, as was actress Jane Russell. The town is known for its strawberries, with opportunities for visitors to "pick their own:" [1]
