Additional Description: While the river and the falls drew speculators and early settlers to the city, Sioux Falls really began to grow once railroads arrived. The first railroad arrived in Sioux Falls in 1878. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad began operating in Sioux Falls in 1880, locating its depot and switching yard near the falls. In the early 1900's the railroad built the bridge above the falls and developed the land that was once Seney Island into rail yards.
