Siouxland

Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIO : Siouxland

Siouxland is a general term for the area around Sioux City, Iowa, an area that includes much of northwestern Iowa, the northeast corner of Nebraska and the southeast corner of South Dakota. The boundaries of Siouxland have no official designation, but as the term is frequently used by Sioux City media, one can assume that Siouxland is roughly synonymous with the Sioux City sphere of media influence. Nearly all of the communities in Siouxland are within a 50- to 60-mile circle centered on Sioux City.

The Siouxland area is larger than that of the Sioux City Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is comprised of four counties: Woodbury County, Iowa, Dakota County, Nebraska, Dixon County, Nebraska and Union County, South Dakota. These four counties have a total population of 143,053 (2000).

The term "Siouxland" was reportedly coined by author Frederick Manfred in 1947. Manfred was born in Doon, Iowa, a small town in Lyon County.

The area around Sioux Falls, South Dakota is often referred to as the Sioux Empire. However, this region (which includes adjacent areas in the southwest corner of Minnesota) is sometimes considered "Siouxland" in the very broadest sense of the term.
