The park was named for the first governor of the State of Minnesota, Henry Hastings Sibley. In 1935, the U.S. Government sent the Veterans Conservation Corps to help develop the park's amenities and helped create a popular state park that gets nearly a quarter million visitors each year.

Some of the park's animals include foxes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, coyotes, deer, skunks, badgers, herons, pelicans, loons, geese, and many others. Please treat their home with respect.
