Discover Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls grew up around the cascades of the Big Sioux River, formed about 14,000 years ago in the last ice age. The Ho-Chunk, Ioway, Otoe, Missouria, Omaha, Ponca, Quapaw, Kansa, Osage, Arikara, Sioux and Cheyenne lived in the region, and burial mounds remain on the bluffs above the river. French voyageurs visited in the early 18th century. The first documented visit by an American of European descent was Philander Prescott's overnight camp at the falls in December 1832, and Captain James Allen led an Army expedition there from Fort Des Moines in 1844.
More about Sioux Falls
In 1856 the Dakota Land Company of St. Paul and the Western Town Company of Dubuque each claimed 320 acres around the falls, valued for their beauty and water power. The two groups worked together and built a turf barricade they called Fort Sod as Native people tried to defend their land. Seventeen men spent the first winter there, and the next year the population reached nearly 40. During the Dakota War of 1862, after two local settlers were killed in August, the town was evacuated to Yankton, and the empty townsite was looted and burned. Fort Dakota was set up in what is now downtown in May 1865, and former settlers and newcomers gradually returned to rebuild the town around the falls. Sources Wikipedia: Sioux Falls, South Dakota
