My hometown was founded about 200 years ago as a shipbuilding village. Quite an ideal location because there is a nice sized river that is only 13 miles long and leads to a bay that also leads to an ocean. Now it is a small and peaceful town with around 2,000 people.

My town is named Sioux Falls, because the first settlers of the town settled by the Falls of the Big Sioux River in 1856. As they formed the town, that is what they named it!

Sioux Indians occupied the town site in 1857 when land speculators found the site. In 1862, the conflict between the Sioux, and the settlers in Southwestern Minnesota spilled over into Sioux Falls. The town was abandoned and burned until Fort Dakota was established on site three years later, and the settlers returned.

The arrival of the railroad in 1878 caused a boom in the city's population, and today, Sioux Falls holds the headquarters of the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation and the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad Corporation. BNSF also has many rail lines through Sioux Falls.

Quarrying and polishing of rose quartzite, found throughout the region and used for monuments and construction, was an important industry in the 1880s. Financial problems and a plague of grasshoppers caused an economic downturn in the 1890s, but improvements began in the early 20th century, including the opening of a meatpacking plant in 1909. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

In the 1980's, South Dakota removed usury laws on credit cards, and the Supreme Court made a law that said that usury laws could be enforced in the bank's home state, not the consumers. That brought so many major banks to Sioux Falls (Citi Bank, Wells Fargo, US Bank, and First Premier Bank was founded in Sioux Falls) because of low taxes, and the fact that you could charge whatever interest rate you want on credit cards! (PBS)

Today, Sioux Falls is (and always has been) the biggest city in the state of Sioux Falls. The US Census Bureau predicts the city to be between 190,000-200,000 people residing in the city. The biggest industries in the city remain finance, medicine (Sanford Health is leading the industry with many different innovative ways to cure and treat diseases, headquartered in Sioux Falls), and agriculture, and meat processing (South Dakota is a huge farming state so that is no surprise there).

That, in a nutshell is the history behind my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota!

Mine used to be a big coal mining area. I actually live in a house that used to belong to a coal baron so I dont have to worry about settling, but other people do. They dont mine coal anymore but there is a tour that shows people how they did it, and brings them down to the mines

I used to live in White Marsh, Maryland in the suburbs of Baltimore. The town is just famous for absolutely nothing except shops, hotels, and McDonald’s. Yes there are two McDonald’s locations 2 minutes from each other.
