Our History
\nSeveral hundred years ago, a band of the Mdewakanton Dakota Native Americans traveled across the Mississippi River from Dayton\u2019s Bluff to establish a village on a site at Concord Street near Butler Avenue. The tribe was called \u2018Kaposia\u2019 which means light of foot.<\/p>\n

The Kaposia band of the Mdewakanton Dakota were the first people to settle in our community, which was incorporated as the City of South St. Paul in 1887.<\/p>\n

In 1976, the original festival planning committee selected the name Kaposia Days in honor of the Mdewakanton Dakota.<\/p>\n
