Smiley Township was founded in 1900, but local resident Leon Lum convinced residents to rename it Nisswa, from the Ojibwe word "nessawae" (which means "in the middle" or "three"), when the town was incorporated as a village in 1908. Landmarks include Grand View Lodge. Nisswa is the birthplace of Carl Sneep, ice hockey player.
