Deadwood, Mining town in South Dakota, US
Located at an elevation of 1381 meters in Lawrence County, Deadwood sits within the Black Hills region near numerous hiking trails and outdoor activities.
The discovery of gold in 1876 transformed this area into a settlement, drawing thousands of prospectors and establishing a key location during the Black Hills Gold Rush.
Five museums operated by Deadwood History showcase local heritage through artifacts, photographs, and documents from the 1800s mining period.
The city provides guided tours, historical reenactments, lodging options, and gaming establishments that operate throughout the year for visitors.
In 1883, Deadwood became one of the first communities in the Dakota Territory to implement electric lighting for commercial purposes.
