South Dakota became a state on November 2, 1889, after the Dakota Territory was divided into North and South Dakota. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes like the Sioux, who dominated the northern plains by the late 1700s. European exploration began in 1743 with the LaVerendrye brothers claiming the land for France. The U.S. acquired the region in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. American settlement increased after the 1858 Treaty of Washington, which ceded much of eastern South Dakota from the Yankton Sioux. The discovery of gold in the Black Hills in 1874 sparked a population boom. South Dakota’s economy evolved from fur trading and gold mining to agriculture and industry. Its capital is Pierre and it is nicknamed the Mount Rushmore State
