The first settlers in the Dakotas were primarily European immigrants, with many arriving in the mid-to-late 19th century. Before these settlers, the land was inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Sioux. The influx of settlers increased after the Homestead Act of 1862, which encouraged migration by offering land to those willing to cultivate it. This led to significant changes in the region's Demographics and landscape.
