Miner County, Administrative division in South Dakota, United States
Located in the Glacial Lakes region, Miner County spans 570 square miles of rolling hills, lakes, and agricultural terrain across South Dakota.
The county was established in 1873 and received its name from Ephriam Miner and Nelson Miner, both members of the Territorial Legislature.
The early settlers of Norwegian, German, Danish, Welsh, Irish, and Swedish descent shaped the agricultural traditions that continue in the region.
The Miner County Courthouse in Howard provides administrative services Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM with a lunch break.
On August 28, 1884, photographers captured the second recorded image of a tornado in this county, marking a milestone in weather documentation.
