South Dakota is regarded by the many people who don't know it as a mysterious, rugged, frontier state unchanged from the romantic and sometimes bloody ways of days past. A youthful state, South Dakota lacks the history of the eastern states, the Spanish traditions of the southwestern states, and the ages-old Native American culture of other parts of the country. The first Sioux tribes arrived in the area along with French explorers during the eighteenth century. The nineteenth century brought the Lewis and Clark expedition, fur trade, the gold rush to the Black Hills, Indian uprisings, and the birth of the cattle industry. It also brought heavier settlement around the turn of the century, the official end of Indian resistance, and statehood. South Dakota was admitted to the Union November 2, 1889. After that, the twentieth century brought continued population growth, agricultural development, and an expansion of education, culture and the arts that have made the South Dakota of the old West the contemporary state of today.
