Rod Koch
1615 1st Ave.

On behalf of our over 13,000 friends and neighbors in this community, I welcome
you to South Sioux City, Nebraska.
Home to some of the leading food processing, manufacturing and insurance
companies in the United States, South Sioux City has contributed significantly to this
metropolitan region’s recognition by Site Selection magazine as the top economic
development community in the nation for its population category in 2007, 2008, 2012
and 2013.
A robust and growing economy has contributed to our status as an All-America
City, one of the most-wired small communities in the country, and one of the few cities
who can legitimately lay claim to being nearly debt-free.
Incorporated in 1887, we celebrated our quasquicentennial or 125th birthday in
South Sioux City in 2012 and our diverse population of citizens looks forward to the
next 125 years with a spirit of optimism, confidence and excitement.
With outstanding schools, charming neighborhoods and access to the entertainment
amenities of a much larger city, you are invited to enjoy all that we have to offer as we
continue to proclaim that in South Sioux City “Quality of Life is a Cardinal Rule.”
As Mayor of South Sioux City, I welcome you to come and enjoy our City filled with
recreational amenities and built along the picturesque Missouri River.

HISTORICAL ATTRACTIONS
SCENIC BYWAYS
South Sioux City is the portal to two
Nebraska Scenic Byways: the Lewis and Clark
Scenic Byway and the Outlaw Trail.
In 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark embarked on a journey that would
become one of America’s most fabled
expeditions. Part of that adventure would
take them up the Missouri River and along the
eastern and northern border of present-day
Dakota County.
Today, you can travel that same pathway
by taking the Lewis and Clark and Outlaw Trail
Scenic Byways. They are pathways on which
history and beauty happily collide to deliver an
inspiring journey through time. The routes will
take you through wooded bluffs that overlook
the majestic Missouri River as it snakes its way
through fertile farmland. Along the way, catch
a glimpse of waterfowl and bison as they thrive
on the area’s natural resources. Share the
path where trappers, traders, and American
Indians once lived and traveled. Discover a large
bison herd roaming the grassy plains of the
Winnebago Reservation.
Travel west on Highway 12 and discover
a picturesque journey through breathtaking
and diverse Nebraska landscapes. Known
as ‘’Nebraska’s Everglades,” you’ll marvel at
the unusual biological diversity. Great vistas
encompass clear blue sky and native stands of
oak trees dot the skyline. Diverse geological
features, such as vast, flat bottomlands and
wetlands, give way to bluffs and the state’s
largest waterfall. View cottonwood forests,
pine and cedar forests, open prairie, lush
cropland and abundant wildlife.
Along the way, you’ll find literally
hundreds of entertaining stops of historical
significance, with a wide variety of
recreational, educational and just plain fun
things to see and do.

VISITOR’S GUIDE
Loess Hills Scenic Byway
The Loess Hills Scenic Byway traverses
internationally distinctive landforms as it
follows the Missouri River Valley in western
Iowa, taking you through some of the
most interesting country in the Midwest.
Thousands of years ago, active glaciers
covered much of the northern United
States. When these glaciers melted, they
left fine silt particles that formed a yellow
GC=@75@@98@C9GGDFCBCIB798O@IGGT-HFCB;
windstorms deposited layers of loess several
hundred feet thick on both sides of the
Missouri River Valley, molding the soft soil
into sheer ridges and rippled hills. Only two
places in the world have such extensive loess
layers: the Yellow River Valley of China and
the Loess Hills of western Iowa.

Prairie, where several trails head deep into
undeveloped country. Hike past fields of
wildflowers and through burr oak forests to
the top of the 200-foot ridge, where you
can see miles of green-gold prairie stretch
out before you. You can tackle the slopes
on your mountain bike for a faster trip, or if
you want to spend more time on the prairie,
Preparation Canyon and other state parks
feature several hike-in campsites.
MUSEUMS
Combs School
Built in 1857 and closed in 1964, the
frame schoolhouse is part of Nebraska’s
pioneer heritage - the oldest school building
in Dakota County and one of the oldest in
Nebraska.
16
Originally erected in the spring of
1857 at Omadi, 4 miles south of Dakota
City, the school shared the townsite’s
peril when the Missouri River began to
undermine the area. Since the school
faced destruction, it was moved to Thomas
Smith’s claim, about 2 miles south of
Homer. Here, a new school district was
organized.
When construction on the Burlington
Railroad from Sioux City to Lincoln began,
the school was found to be on railroad
property. The building was then shifted to
the old Combs Mill, then onto its present
museum location at Blyburg Road. School
redistricting eliminated the need for the old
Combs School, and its doors closed for the
last time May 22, 1964. It was part of the
Homer School District at the time it closed.
The Board of Education of the newlyformed district donated the building to the
Dakota County Historical Society, who
has set it aside as a monument to the
pioneer fathers’ belief that, “MEN ARE
ENNOBLED BY UNDERSTANDING.”

The Lewis and Clark Expedition visited
the village August 13, 1804, finding it
deserted, as the Omaha were away on an
extended buffalo hunt. The explorers stayed
near the site for a week and held a conference
with three chiefs of the Oto tribe who had
come to make peace with the absent Omaha.
In 1800, disaster had struck the village
as smallpox killed an estimated 400 including
the famous Chief Blackbird. After Blackbird’s
death, the village ceased to play so important
a role in the struggle for control of the
Missouri Valley and the Plains beyond.

RECREATION
HUNTING, FISHING &
CAMPING
South Sioux City and the surrounding area
in northeast Nebraska offers ample opportunities for hunting and fishing enthusiasts. You’ll
love the hospitality of our lodging and camping
facilities - they’ll make your stay enjoyable.
Waterfowl hunting along the Missouri River
and its marshy backwaters is some of the best
Nebraska has to offer. There is good whitetailed deer hunting in the bluffs above the river
and in the creek bottoms that slice through the
district’s grasslands and croplands. Numerous wild turkeys can be found along the river
bottoms and wherever there is an abundance
of timber. Pheasants and bobwhite quail can be
found in most agricultural areas. The Missouri
River bluffs also support an excellent squirrel
population.
Anglers in the northeast find exciting fishing action at many small farm ponds. Catfish,
buffalo, carp, walleye and much more can be
found in the mighty Missouri River.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, ngpc.state.ne.us, offers a multitude of
information including licenses and regulation.
Below are some of the most popular hunting/
fishing areas and the opportunities they provide. CRP-MAP’s are available at Walmart for
those interested in additional public and public
access hunting/fishing areas available for use.

AREA SCHOOLS
The South Sioux City Community School
District consists of six elementary schools,
one middle school and one high school.
In addition, the school district operates
preschool programs, an alternative high
school program, special education programs
at the Cardinal House and Transition
Apartments. The school district serves
South Sioux City, Dakota City and the
surrounding rural area in Dakota County.
South Sioux City and Dakota City, as
well as all of Dakota County, continue to
experience population growth. The school
district has responded to this growth by
renovating existing schools, building new
schools and acquiring ground for future
school construction. In 1993, two new
elementary schools were opened. Both
new elementarys have added additions
to accommodate continued growth in
the community. Each of the other four
elementary schools has experienced major
renovations in recent years. A significant
expansion on the middle school and high
school site was completed in 2001.
Student learning drives decisions in the
South Sioux City Community Schools. A
comprehensive curriculum provides students
with educational experiences that prepare
them for success in college and in the
workforce. Educators work in professional
learning communities, a researched-based
practice, where they “commit to working
collaboratively in ongoing processes of
collective inquiry and action research
to achieve better results for students we
serve.” Operating as a professional learning
community, teachers intensely focus on
what each student should know and be able
to do ensuring all “Students Learn….all
Students are Successful…and all Students
46
are Prepared for Life.”
The school district employs over 500
teachers and support staff. Highly-trained and
hard-working teachers work with over 3,800
students during the year to help prepare them
to be successful. Teachers receive specific
training in effective methods of teaching
reading and writing and using classroom
assessments to help all students learn.
The school district enjoys the support of
the communities of South Sioux City and
Dakota City. On numerous occasions it
has worked with these two communities, as
well as Dakota County, to enhance learning
opportunities for students while creating
efficiencies that result in tax savings for
residents. Community groups use school
facilities extensively in the evenings and on
weekends.
The school district has worked closely with
Northeast Community College, Wayne State
College and the City of South Sioux City to
develop a College Center in South Sioux City.
The College Center is easily accessible for high
school students. Students benefit by being
able to take college-level classes while in high
school as well as have a post-secondary school
experience available in their own community.
The school district received two national
awards in 2006. Representatives went to
Washington, D.C., in November to receive
the Blue Ribbon School Award for Harney
Elementary School. Harney Elementary was
one of four schools in Nebraska and only 250
nationwide to receive the award. The South
Sioux City Community Schools continue to be
recognized across the state as an innovative
and progressive school district on the leading
edge of preparing students for success in the
21st century.
