Tucked some of the hills at the banks of the Missouri River, Chamberlain has long been a stopping-off point for travelers. The Sioux found wealthy hunting, and Lewis and Clark found out a comfortable place to rest on American Island.

The Chamberlain area evolved from the rough and wooly days of cowboy cattle drives around the pontoon bridge to the leisurely ferry excursions to American Island for picnics and ball games. Even nowadays, as travelers from the east come over the upward push and descend toward the Missouri River on Interstate 90, they will have to be thinking the similar as travelers of long agothis is where the West begins.
