| Once the site of Arikara and Sioux villages, Mobridge was founded in 1906. It is a trade and distribution centre for a ranching and farming region. West of the city is the final resting place of the renowned Sioux chief Sitting Bull, who was killed near here in 1890; his body was moved to this location in 1953 from its original burial site at Fort Yates, in North Dakota. |
