the area between the Floyd and Big Sioux Rivers on the banks of 

Missouri River affectionately called Big Mo what would become now Sioux 

City. 

Sioux City would become a Tri-State city after formation of 

states located between Missouri River on the south, Floyd and the Big 

Sioux rivers on east and west respectively. Part of Sioux City across 

the Missouri River is in Nebraska; part of Sioux City across the Big 

Sioux River is in South Dakota and the biggest in between area is in 

Iowa.  Now, Sioux City is divided between three rivers and three states 

and that is unique. 

The corn and soybean crops grow fast around Sioux City from 

fertile soils and good water supply. The transpiration from thousands 

of miles of crop canopy and the rivers contributes high humidity in 

summer to turn Sioux City into a hot muggy place in summer.  On the 

streets of Sioux City, one can see the live hogs and cattle on the 

trailers heading towards their final destination; the meat processing 

plants. Drivers are safe on the streets of Sioux City since cattle 

don't show road rage like some commuters on big city roads.  In Sioux 

City nobody can get lost since all the roads lead to the slow moving 

Mighty Mo heading south to join its longtime buddy fast moving 

Mississippi River to gain momentum towards Gulf Coast carrying barges 

loaded with goods.
