Deadwood, South Dakota was actually founded in 1876 but was a booming gold strike before that. The name was derived from the gulch that the town is situated on. Deadwood sits high up in the Black Hills mountains of South Dakota, small town with a big past.
Deadwood’s prosperity rests on three various factors. Deadwood is the county seat of Lawrence County, which contains three cities, rich farming land, and valuable mining properties. Deadwood has a world-wide fame and is a magnet for every tourist who enters the Black Hills. In fact you will be greatly disappointed to leave the Black Hills area without seeing historic Deadwood. And lastly, Deadwood has the reputation all through the local region of being a liberal, more or less “wide open” town. This reputation has been held from the very beginning and still holds today. If slot machines, poker tables, and blackjack are your passion then you are in the right place. The continuous line of Casinos on the main drag through Deadwood might make you think you are in “Little Las Vegas”, and you are! So pull on your boots, strap on your six guns (not really) and walk the same streets as Wild Bill, Calamity Jane, Preacher Smith, Poker Alice and Deadwood Dick.
While you are in Deadwood be sure to visit the many historic museums, Wild West reenactments, and the old historic cemetery where most of the Wild West characters are buried.
Picture your next travel stop in Deadwood, South Dakota!
