South Dakota Census Notes

1860, 1870, 1880 and 1885 Territorial Census Records schedules exist for Dakota Territory which then included all counties in what is now known as North and South Dakota.

Federal South Dakota Census Records exist and are available to the public for census years 1860 Dakota Territory, 1870 Dakota Territory, 1880 Dakota Territory, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930.

1890 Federal South Dakota Census Records were destroyed by fire with the exception of one family in Jefferson Township of Union County.  The 1890 Veterans and Widows census schedules did survive the fire and can provide a helpful census substitute for the lost 1890 South Dakota census records.

South Dakota State Census Records: Census enumerations were taken every 10 years between 1895 and 1945.

 South Dakota

(Territory 1861.  Statehood 1889)

The Dakotas were part of the Louisiana Purchase.  Prior to 1820, Dacotah was part of Missouri Territory.  At different points in time, the western half was attached to Nebraska Territory, while the eastern half was included in Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin Territories.  The area became known as Dakota Territory in 1861. In 1863, the Homestead Act was passed and settlers flooded into the territory.  Dakota Territory was split into North and South Dakota in 1887.
