| 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 |
