History

Dakota Woods Dog Park in Empire, Minnesota, sits within a region deeply rooted in history.

The park’s location along the confluence of the St.

Croix River and the Vermillion River places it within an area that played a pivotal role in the displacement of the Dakota people from Mille Lacs Lake.

This event, coupled with subsequent land acquisitions through treaties like the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux and the Treaty of St.

Peters, shaped the landscape and influenced the area’s development during the US expansion into the Northwest Territory.

The park itself is situated within a region bearing witness to significant historical events and the evolving relationship between Indigenous populations and the expanding United States.

This location offers a glimpse into a past marked by both tradition and the complex processes of land acquisition.
