History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark passed through the South Sioux City area in 1804.

European settlement on the Nebraska side of the river began as early as 1854. Several town sites were platted and incorporated in the 1850s. Pacific City, incorporated in 1858, was a short-lived settlement. Covington and South Covington, both incorporated in 1857, merged in 1870. Another town, Stanton, was founded in 1856.

South Sioux City was incorporated in 1887.[1] A special election in 1893 approved the merger of Covington and Stanton into the city of South Sioux City.
