South Dakota is the 40th state of the United States, officially admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889, simultaneously with North Dakota. The region was originally part of the vast Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and became organized as part of the Dakota Territory in 1861. The Dakota Territory originally included what is now North Dakota, South Dakota, and parts of Montana and Wyoming.
Jump Into What Matters
South Dakota is divided into 66 counties and contains 311 incorporated municipalities, which include 156 cities, 154 towns, and one village—Wentworth.
Municipal classification in South Dakota relies primarily on population thresholds, dividing municipalities into three classes:
- First-class cities: Those with populations of 5,000 or more residents.
- Second-class cities: Those with populations from 500 to 4,999 residents.
- Third-class towns: Those with fewer than 500 residents.
South Dakota’s municipalities are formed through petitions by eligible voters of the proposed area and are governed under state laws, specifically South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) Chapters 6-16 and 9-3, which provide the legal framework for incorporation and municipal governance.
Municipalities in South Dakota operate independently of township governance and have the option to adopt home rule charters, allowing them greater local autonomy in decision-making tailored to their communities’ needs.
