Brief HistoryThe city of Brookings was surveyed and platted in preparation forthe railroad’s construction into the territory, in 1879. Named afterWilmot W. Brookings, a spirited pioneer who traveled to the unsettledDakota Territory in the late 1850s, Brookings soon grew into a boom-ing town.
Merchants from the surrounding areas packed up their businessesand moved to Brookings looking for great opportunity. In 1881Brookings was chosen as the site for South Dakota State College, aland grant university. Both the city and university have grown dra-matically and continue to thrive in the 21st century.
nearbyWhen the road trip starts to get a little long, make a pit stop atthese surrounding locations for even more South Dakota cul-ture, history and places to play. While Brookings has a variety ofattractions, our neighboring communities provide family fun fora weekend road trip or a great start to the next family vacation.
