Iron Belt is a small unincorporated census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Knight, Iron County, in far-northern Wisconsin, sitting on Wisconsin Highway 77 southwest of Montreal in the historic Gogebic (Penokee) iron range. It grew as an iron-mining hamlet around the Iron Belt Mine (about 1888 to 1912) and today is a quiet residential community whose ZIP-code post office (54536) doubles as the mailing address for its governing Town of Knight. Its 2020 Census population was reported at 158, and civic authority rests with the elected Town of Knight board (Chairman David Mullen, Clerk Jody Walbridge). Children attend the Hurley School District, and the area is known for the county-owned Uller cross-country ski trails, Weber Lake, and its Gogebic-range mining heritage.
