South Dakota’s story stretches from millennia of Indigenous presence—especially the Lakota and Dakota peoples—to rapid change on the Great Plains. The territory split as railroads and homesteaders arrived, and on November 2, 1889, South Dakota entered the Union alongside North Dakota after President Benjamin Harrison signed the shuffled statehood papers. The Black Hills gold rush of the 1870s and the 1874 Custer Expedition accelerated settlement pressures and conflict; later, massive Missouri River dam projects like Oahe reshaped the state’s economy and geography. Today, agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing anchor a growing, business-friendly state.
