| In 1680, Father Louis Hennepin visited the future site of Minneapolis and gave the Falls of St. Anthony their name. Lt. Zebulon Pike made a treaty with the Sioux Indians in 1805–1806, by which they ceded to the whites much land, including the Falls of St. Anthony and the site of Minneapolis. The name Minneapolis is a combination of the Dakota Sioux word “minna,” for water, and the Greek word “polis,” for city. Minneapolis was incorporated as a city in 1867, and in 1872 the city of St. Anthony (chartered in 1860) was annexed to it. Fifteen Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area | |
