October 1851 CE

Sugar Loaf is the most noticeable physical landmark of the City of Winona, Minnesota, located in picturesque bluff country on the Mississippi River, founded on October 15, 1851, by Yankee immigrants from New England; they will lay out the town into lots in 1852 and 1853.

The city of Winona began on the site of a native village named Keoxa, the seat of the Wapasha dynasty and home to a Mdewakanton band of the eastern Dakota.

The city is named after legendary figure Winona, said to have been the first-born daughter of Chief Wapasha (Wabasha) III.
