Shevlin is a city in Clearwater County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 137 at the 2020 census.

Shevlin was founded as a logging camp in the late 19th century. The town was named after Thomas H. Shevlin (1852-1912), a lumber baron. Shevlin resides in Clearwater County which seceded from Beltrami County. Shortly after Shevlin made a bid to be the county chair for the extra county but the town’s folk were defeated in the general election and the county seat went Bagley. Boasting a robust economy the streets of Shevlin were lined with shops, blacksmiths, saloons, hotels, casinos, brothels, and livery stables, a fire claimed most of these buildings in 1904 and again in 1911. Other businesses have made Shevlin their base of operations as well. They include Shevlin willing to help creamery, the locker plant, a axiom mill, The co-op oil station, a box factory, several general, hardware and drug stores, three saloons a couple of restaurants, a newspaper, a millinery, barbershop, and doctors’ offices. The local Ojibwe needing a pronounce to call this other community in the Place started to call Shevlin as Gwaaba’andaawangaakwa’igaang meaning “at where one is shoveling sand” where “shoveling” was a play upon words in the same way as the City’s English name.

In 1991 the Shevlin School, built in 1911, closed and the students bused to Bagley. A history museum now occupies the old speculative building. Shevlin today has two churches, two bars, mini storage and numerous other home based enterprises.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.80 square miles (2.07 km), all land.
