Best Answer

South Dakota has been inhabited for thousands of years with the Sioux Indians the dominant inhabitants in the early 19th century. The gold rush in the Black Hills in the mid-1800's and the railroads brought European-American settlers to South Dakota.

South Dakota was part of the Dakota Territory from March 2, 1861, until November 2, 1889, when it was admitted to the union as the state of South Dakota.
