Sleepy Eye, Minnesota

USA / Minnesota / Sleepy Eye /

Sleepy Eye is a city in Home Township, Brown County, Minnesota. The population was 3,515 at the 2000 census.

Named after Dakotah Chief Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba (Sleepy Eye), this is a community still close to its German immigrant roots. If the name seems familiar to you, perhaps that relates to its place in Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories, as they appeared in print and as they were told on the television series "Little House on the Prairie."
