 . Red Wing is an important wheat market and shipping point.
In 1695 Le Sueur built a post on Prairie
Island
 , in the Mississippi, about 8 m. above the site of Red Wing, for the purpose, according to Charlevoix, of interposing a barrier between the warring Dakotas and Chippewas; and in 1727 Rene
Boucher
  built on the shore of Lake Pepin a fort which, after various vicissitudes, was abandoned in 1753. An Indian
village
  occupied the site of Red Wing probably for many years before the arrival of the first whites, two Swiss missionaries, Samuel Denton and Daniel Gavin, who maintained a mission here in 1837-46. In 1848 another mission was established by the American Board. Red Wing (named from an Indian
chief
 ) was platted in 1853 and was chartered as a city in 1857.
