Clark County, County in South Dakota, United States
Clark County spreads across rolling terrain dotted with lakes throughout its landscape. Agriculture shapes how the land is used and how the region looks today.
The area was established in 1873 and formally organized in 1881. It was named after Newton Clark, a legislator in the Dakota Territory.
The population reflects strong European heritage with 52 percent German and 29 percent Norwegian ancestry among the 3,837 residents recorded in 2020.
The county seat in Clark offers services and facilities for residents and visitors. You will find administrative offices, emergency services, and health services in this central location.
A local rule from 1899 limited horse and bicycle speeds on Commercial Street in Clark. This old regulation shows how the community tried to manage traffic safety before automobiles became common.
