The southern tip of this land between the [[Missouri River]] from the west and south and the [[Big Sioux River]] from the north and east was a meeting place for Native American Indians traveling the two rivers.

French-Canadian farmer Joseph La Plant, born ca. 1823 in Indiana, settled at '''Sioux Point''' in 1849 and is listed with other early settlers in the [[1860 United States census|1860 census]] as living "Between Big Sioux and [[Big Stone Lake]]" in the "Unorganized" area of [[Minnesota]], with the closest post office located immediately down and across the rivers in [[Sioux City]], Iowa.

North Sioux City was incorporated in 1951.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.city-data.com/city/North-Sioux-City-South-Dakota.html|title= North Sioux City, South Dakota|publisher=City-data.com|access-date=July 28, 2012}}</ref>

==Major businesses==
Military Road is locally known as "The Strip" hosts a number of casinos and fireworks stores. These take advantage of the lack of these products in neighboring Nebraska. Legalization of recreational marijuana in South Dakota is expected to encourage the opening of similar shops selling to out-of-state customers.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Docker |first1=Mason |title='There's a lot of money to be made': Nebraska border town ponders recreational marijuana |url=https://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/theres-a-lot-of-money-to-be-made-nebraska-border-town-ponders-recreational-marijuana/article_9950b5ae-afc6-5e69-9eff-cc7f60dc6c2d.html#tracking-source=home-the-latest |access-date=November 9, 2020 |publisher=Sioux City Journal-Star |date=November 7, 2020}}</ref>

North Sioux City is the former home of [[Gateway, Inc.]], the area's most well-known employer. At its height, Gateway employed over 6000 employees. After Acer Computers bought out the majority of Gateway (MPC of Idaho purchased the business portion) in late 2007, several layoffs have taken place. Fewer than 100 people have jobs at the original facility. Acer has expressed interest in selling the facility.

Other companies are renting from the facility, including Alorica, which absorbed a number of Gateway phone jobs. They are handling the AT&T account.

On August 18, 2008, MPC announced the lay-offs of 55 people currently employed (who were all former Gateway employees).  On October 17, 2008, MPC laid-off 98 more employees at the former Gateway facility, many of whom were former Gateway employees.

[[Mars, Incorporated|Mars Petcare]] purchased the city's [[Menu Foods]] plant in October 2007 and operated it until 2011, when the plant was turned over to Mars' [[Royal Canin]] division. In 2016 Royal Canin broke ground on a 45,000 sq ft addition to the plant and invested about $60 million in state-of-the-art facilities to enhance its production of specialty pet foods.<ref>{{cite web |title=Royal Canin USA's Pet Food Manufacturing Facility, North Sioux City, South Dakota, US |url=https://www.foodprocessing-technology.com/projects/royal-canin-usas-pet-food-manufacturing-facility-north-sioux-city-south-dakota/ |website=Food Processing Technology |publisher=Kable |access-date=February 19, 2022}}</ref>

In response to steadily increasing demand for their pet food products, Royal Canin announced in February 2022 that they would invest another $185 million in new production lines at their North Sioux City plant, which is expected to create 149 new jobs.<ref>{{cite web |title=Royal Canin Expands North Sioux City, South Dakota, Facility |url=https://www.areadevelopment.com/newsitems/2-16-2022/royal-canin-north-sioux-city-south-dakota.shtml |website=Area Development |date=February 16, 2022 |publisher=Halcyon Business Publications, Inc |access-date=19 February 2022}}</ref> As of February 2022, Royal Canin was operating 12 production plants in Europe, Russia, Africa, East Asia, South America and North America.
