Davison County, County in eastern South Dakota, United States
Davison County encompasses 437 square miles of rolling hills and agricultural lands, intersected by the James River in its northeastern section.
The county, established in 1874, takes its name from Henry C. Davison, who marked his place in history as the first settler in this region.
Mitchell, the county seat, features the Corn Palace, decorated with corn and grain, which represents the agricultural heritage of the region.
Interstate 90 and South Dakota State Highways 37 and 42 connect the county's communities of Mitchell, Mount Vernon, Ethan, and Loomis.
The James River flows through the northeastern portion of the county, creating fertile soil conditions that support extensive agricultural operations.
