A Short History of the Black Hills of South Dakota
The Black Hills of South Dakota has to a large degree retained its traditional flavor and character. Its rich history is in many ways unique.
The region was the homeland of Sioux Indians who traversed the Great Plains before the advent of Europeans. French explorers arrived in 1742-3, and Spain acquired sovereignty over the region in 1762. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase initiated United States ownership. Until 1856, when Fort Randall was constructed, fur trappers and traders were the sole Caucasians. Vermillion and Yankton soon became permanent establishments. Dakota Territory was created in 1861, with people congregated in the southeast.
