Floyd's Bluff

The bluff was Floyd's original burial site in 1804, and is now the location of a National Historic Landmark in his honor.

The bluff itself is part of the Loess Hills formation.

The Floyd's Bluff area was settled in 1848 by William Thompson, a recent veteran of the Mexican–American War.

Floyd's Bluff eventually was incorporated into Sioux City with the development of the suburb of Morningside in the 1870s.
