Potter County, located in the great state of South Dakota, was established on January 8, 1873. It was initially part of Buffalo County but, due to the region's development, it was later organized into a separate entity. The county was named in honor of Joel A. Potter, an early settler and Dakota Territory legislator. The county seat is Gettysburg, which was founded in 1883 and named after the famous Gettysburg Battlefield in Pennsylvania.

One interesting aspect of Potter County is its geography. The region is part of the Missouri Plateau, which transitions into the Great Plains. It is primarily a rural and agricultural area, with farming and ranching as the primary industries. The Missouri River, which forms part of the county's southern boundary, has played a vital role in the development of the area, providing irrigation for crops, water supply for livestock, and a means of transportation.

A fun fact about Potter County is that it is home to the Medicine Rock State Historic Site, which is located in the far-northeast corner of the county.
