Saint Anthony Falls points along the Mississippi between Dakota and Anishinaabe peoples. The Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) term was recorded as "kakabikah" ("gakaabikaa", "split rock" or more descriptively, "gichi-gakaabikaa," "the great severed rock" which referenced the jagged chunks of limestone constantly eroding by the falls). In 1680, the falls became known to the Western world when they were observed and published in a journal by Father Louis Hennepin, a Catholic friar of Belgian birth, who also first published about Niagara Falls to the world's attention. Hennepin named them the "Chutes de Saint-Antoine" or the Falls of Saint Anthony after his patron saint, Anthony of Padua.
