By 1834, the trading post had grown in popularity and was relocated to the Straight River, one mile (1.6  km) upstream of its junction with the Cannon River, the site of modern-day Faribault. The young Alexander Faribault used his knowledge of Dakota language and culture to improve relations with the displaced Wahpekute and even helped the tribe to resettle in the area. This relationship was instrumental in ensuring the success of the trading post and allowing safe travel to the area for settlers. The Dakota in the area called this soon-to-be town "Adek" for Alex (Alexander Faribault).<ref>{{cite book\|last=Durand\|first=Paul\|title=Where the Waters Gather and the Rivers Meet \|date=1994}}</ref> Another source maintains the city is named for Jean-Baptiste Faribault.<ref>{{cite book \| url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ \| title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States \| publisher=Govt.
