De Smet, South Dakota was first settled in 1879 and was named in honor of Father Peter De Smet, an early apostle to the Indians of South Dakota.
Actually founded in 1880 and elected the county seat of Kingsbury County. It had been at one time called Cream City because it lay in the heart of a dairying section of the state. A farm stead just outside of De Smet is the birthplace of Rose Wilder Lane, the writer of “Little House on the Prairie”.
