Kingsbury County, South Dakota
Kingsbury County is in the east, right in the heart of South Dakota’s lakes region. Lake Thompson is a big draw. Fishing, boating, you name it.
De Smet is the county seat. Remember “Little House on the Prairie”? Laura Ingalls Wilder lived here. You can still visit her homestead.
About 5,000 people call Kingsbury County home. The land is flat and fertile so farming is the main gig. Corn, soybeans, cattle, and even sunflowers. But the history runs deep. Native Americans. Pioneers. It’s all here. Just waiting to be discovered.
