- Named for a Dakota Sioux Indian chief, Ish-tak-ha-ba which translates to sleep eyes. The plural was dropped because Ish-tak-ha-ba had one sleepy eye - the left one. Ish-tak-ha-ba died in South Dakota. Years later his body was exhumed and is now burried next to a museum that used to be the depot. A monument stands above the burial site. Incorporated as a city in 1903.
