Why does dakotas four main cities lie on the Missouri river or red river of the north?

First of all, not all of the main cities in the Dakotas are located on the Missouri River or the Red River. The largest city in the Dakotas, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is located on the Big Sioux River. Sioux Falls is located there because the people who settled the area needed water. The same would be for Rapid City, South Dakota and Minot, North Dakota. Fargo, North Dakota is located on the Red River of the North, again, because the settlers needed water to survive and to plant crops. Bismarck, North Dakota, Pierre, South Dakota, and Yankton, South Dakota, are all located on the Missouri River. At the time these three cities were settled, rivers and waterways were a main means of transportation. The Missouri River provided transportation for people and supplies to the Dakotas along with the water needed for daily living.
