Excerpt from The Minnesota Capitol Offcial Guide and History
In 1805 a grant of land nine miles square, at the confluence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota rivers, was obtained from the Sioux Indians, and a military camp was established which resulted in the erection of Fort Snelling, fifteen years later. This became a permanent army post, and steamboats made it the objective point of one or two trips annually, for many years.
