Fall River County, located in the southwestern corner of South Dakota, was established in 1883. The county got its name from the Fall River, which flows through the region, and is renowned for its warm water and unique riparian areas. With an area of about 1,749 square miles, the county seat is Hot Springs, which was founded in 1879 as a resort town due to the presence of numerous warm springs.

The history of Fall River County is enriched by the Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux, who lived in this region long before European settlement. Prior to the 1800s, the land was inhabited by various tribes, including the Arikara and Cheyenne.

In the late 19th century, gold rushes and homesteaders seeking opportunities attracted settlers to the area. Hot Springs became a hub for expansion as newcomers sought its healing waters and established businesses.

A significant historical site in the county is the Battle of Slim Buttes, a conflict between the United States Army and the Sioux Nation in 1876. This battle was part of the larger Great Sioux War, which erupted due to tensions over the encroachment of settlers into the Black Hills, an area considered sacred by the Sioux. The U.S. Army eventually emerged victorious, forcing the Sioux Nation to cede much of their territory to the United States.

Fall River County also includes Wind Cave National Park, one of the first national parks designated in the United States, which was established in 1903. Wind Cave is home to the world's largest known concentration of the unique geological formation called boxwork. The park also boasts an impressive network of underground passageways, making it one of the world's most complex cave systems.

Fun Fact: The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs is an active paleontological dig site where over 61 mammoths, mostly Columbian mammoths, have been unearthed. The site is not only an essential research center but also an educational and tourist destination.
