Minnehaha Falls, Minneapolis (mnopedia.org) The fifty-three-foot-high Minnehaha Falls was purchased by Minneapolis in 1889. It was the centerpiece of a new state park. The falls remain one of the state’s most popular attractions for both residents and visitors. Their name is derived from the Dakota words mni (water) and gaga (falling or curling)—literally, water fall.
