History

The population was 8,410 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Pennington County, Minnesota County .

Thief River Falls takes its name from a geographic feature, the falls of the Red Lake River at its confluence with the Thief River. The Falls marked the limit of navigability of the Red Lake River, where the eponymous townsite was established in 1887 and later incorporated as a city in 1896. The name of the river is a loose translation of the Ojibwe phrase, 'Gimood-akiwi ziibi', literally, the "Stolen-land river" or "Thieving Land river," which originated when a band of Dakota Indians occupied a secret encampment along the river, hence "stealing" the land, before being discovered and routed by the neighboring Ojibwe. Thief River Falls, also called Thief River or TRF, is a city in Pennington County, Minnesota County, Minnesota, United States.
