How did Sioux Falls get its name?
Sioux Falls is named for the Sioux Indians and the waterfalls of the Big Sioux River, located a few blocks from today’s downtown district. The Indians named the water “minne waukon,” meaning “sacred water.” The falls remain a popular local landmark and tourist attraction, as do some of the city’s older buildings, which are still standing today.
