The seat of the Wapasha dynasty, Keoxa was home to a Mdewakanton band of the eastern Sioux.Non-Native Americans settled the area in 1851 and laid out the town into lots in 1852 and 1853. The original settlers were Yankee immigrants from New England. The population increased from 815 in December, 1855, to 3,000 in December, 1856. In 1856 German immigrants arrived as well. The Germans and the Yankees worked together planting trees and building businesses based on lumber, wheat, steamboating and railroads. Between 1859 and 1900, 5,000 Poles emigrated to Winona, making up one quarter of the population. Since 80% of them were Kashubian Poles, Winona became known as the "Kashubian Capital of America." For a time, Winona had more millionaires than any other city of its size in the United States.
