History of Sioux Falls

The Pink Quartzite Falls RoadyGoat

Sioux Falls is named for exactly what you'd hope: a waterfall, and a striking one. At Falls Park, just north of downtown, the Big Sioux River tumbles over ledges of rose-pink Sioux quartzite, some of the oldest and hardest rock on the continent, dated between 1.6 and 1.7 billion years old. Roughly 7,400 gallons of water spill over the falls every second, dropping about a hundred feet across the whole cascade (not in one sheer plunge). The pink stone built the city, too: settlers quarried it on site for mills and buildings, and the ruins of the seven-story Queen Bee Mill still stand beside the water. Today Falls Park spreads across more than a hundred acres with a five-story overlook tower. A waterfall this old gave the city both its name and its bones, which is a fine reason to pull over and look.

Falls Park: The Cascades That Built Sioux Falls

1856

The Big Sioux River drops roughly one hundred feet over a series of cascades through exposed Sioux quartzite that is 1.7 billion years old, creating the falls that gave South Dakota's largest city its name and its reason to exist.
