Over the next few decades the residents adopted an accented drawl which also resulted in the name being mispronounced and, eventually, changed to Duluth.

| - Duluth is a port city in the U.S. state of Minnesota and is the county seat of Saint Louis County. The fourth largest city in Minnesota, Duluth had a total population of 86,265 in the 2010 census. Duluth is also the second largest city that is located on Lake Superior after Thunder Bay, Ontario, and has the largest metropolitan area on Lake Superior. The Duluth MSA had a population of 279,771 in 2010. Situated at the westernmost point of the Great Lakes on the north shore of Lake Superior, Duluth is accessible to ocean-going vessels from the Atlantic Ocean 2,300 miles (3,700 km) away via the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway.
- Duluth forms a single metropolitan area with Superior, Wisconsin, together called the Twin Ports. The two cities share a harbor and are one of the most important ports on the Great Lakes. Among the items shipped out are iron ore (taconite) and grain. Both cities have museums devoted to the local nautical heritage, and Duluth has America's only all freshwater aquarium, the Great Lakes Aquarium. A major destination for tourists is the Aerial Lift Bridge spanning the short canal into Duluth's harbor. The city is named for Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut, the first known European explorer of the area.

- Duluth is a fortress city-state in the great state of Minnesota (though is has been argued that the state is not in fact 'great' but merely 'ok'). In the early 1700's a group of French trappers, known as the Unwelcomed Frogs, found an area with a sweet beach on Lake Superior. They colonized the area and soon developed a port to ship beaver skin wallets to Europe. They named this area DeLuet, which translated, roughly means 'Portugal in a bottle.' Over the next few decades the residents adopted an accented drawl which also resulted in the name being mispronounced and, eventually, changed to Duluth. When Minnesota was annexed, the residents attempted to separate and claim it as an independent nation. The local natives quickly took advantage of this and built several casinos and promptly took control of the rising economy of Duluth. The US Army, led by the ghost of George Custer, quickly crushed the separatists and many of them remained, building grain elevators and shitty bars. One of these bars, known today as the Kozy, still remains and is a focal point in historic renovations in the city. Duluth is one half of what people call the Twin Ports (the other being the far inferior Wisconsin). It is unknown what the origin of the phrase meant or what the phrase means though many speculate it is derived from an ancient Hebrew dialect.
