The river's name is derived from the Native American word "zump-ro" which means "place of giant fish." The river has a rich history, having been used by Native Americans for hunting and fishing, as well as by European settlers for transportation and water power. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including the Zumbro Falls, Hammond, and Lake Zumbro dams, which help regulate the river's flow and provide hydroelectric power. The river is used for recreational activities such as fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, as well as for agriculture, with many farms and pasturelands located along its banks.
