Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Sioux City, Iowa, From Earliest Settlement to January, 1892 In the summer of 1848, a single pioneer, William Thompson, settled at Floyd's Bluff, his brother and another man joining him in the Fall. Next year he laid out a town there, calling it Thompsonville. Thompson's cabin was the sole improvement, but on the organization of the county, in 1853, the ville was made the countyseat, and it was a sort of post for Indian traders for some years. Not a vestige of Thompsonville remains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
