The Hidatsa originally lived the Devil's Lake area of North Dakota. As they migrated west, the Hidatsa met the Mandan at the mouth of the Heart River. The two groups formed an friendly alliance, and settled along the rivers of the area.

The first recorded contact with non-Indians occurred in 1804, when Lewis and Clark found the Hidatsa living in three villages at the mouth of the Knife River. Two villages of the [[Mandan Indians|Mandans]] were located a few miles down the Missouri River.

Two artists of the American west visited the Hidatsa and Mandan and painted scenes of their life -- George Catlin in 1832, and Karl Bodmer, a Swiss painter accompanying German explorer Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied from 1832 to 1834.

A smallpox epidemic in 1837-1838 reduced the Hidatsa population to about 500 people. The remaining Mandan and Hidatsa united, and moved farther up the Missouri in 1845. They eventually settled at "Like-a-fishhook" bend near Fort Berthold. The Arikara joined them there in 1862.
