In this vicinity stood the grand Sioux village of Izatys, where Duluth planted the French arms on July 2, 1679. The settlement was visited by Father Hennepin in 1680. About 1750, the Chippewa, moving westward from Lake Superior, captured the village, and by this decisive battle drove the Sioux permanently into southern Minnesota.
