Sioux Falls, SD
Sioux Falls, SD is located near the Eastern border of the state, approximately five miles from Minnesota and eight miles Northwest of Iowa. Attracted by the characteristically beautiful Big Sioux River waterfalls, land speculators in 1856 claimed the land on the banks of the river which would one day be Sioux Falls SD with the intention of turning it into a town before the arrival of railroads and settlers.
Comprised of 1,200 acres, the village of Sioux Falls was incorporated in 1876, and the city charter granted on March 3, 1883. With the arrival of the railroads in the 1880s, the population of Sioux Falls, SD exploded from 2164 to 10,167 by 1890. Sioux Falls, SD has been growing and prospering since, with stable and impressive development continuing into modern times.
