Brown County, South Dakota
Brown County sprawls across northeastern South Dakota. Aberdeen, the county seat, is the third-largest city in the state. But don’t get too excited because we’re still talking South Dakota here.
The county’s named after Alfred Brown, a legislator in the Dakota Territory. Mina Lake is a popular spot for camping and fishing.
Winters are long and cold. Really cold. But summer brings the Brown County Fair, one of the biggest in the state. Agriculture is big business here. So is healthcare.
