History

In 1854 he drew a survey of the area and filed his claim for most of what is now Wayzata proper. In 1855, Wayzata had an influx of settlers who built a sawmill, a hotel and a blacksmith shop. The name Wayzata is derived from the Native Americans in the United States Indian word 'Waziyata', which had almost a mystical connotation to the Sioux tribes who originally inhabited the area. But, in 1857, this growing economy was nearly terminated by a grasshopper infestation At the time, ginseng roots were in great demand as an aphrodisiac in the Orient and the eastern forests had been exhausted of their supply. While these natives had been living off the land for many years prior, in 1803 the land was claimed by France, who sold it to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase.
