Bennett County, County division in South Dakota, United States
Bennett County spans across rolling hills and drainage gullies, with the Little White River flowing through its lower central section near Martin, the county seat.
The county formation in 1909 involved partitioning land from Fall River County, with the first commission taking office through elections in April 1912.
The demographic composition of Bennett County reflects a strong Native American presence, with over 60 percent of residents identifying as American Indian as of 2020.
Local government offices in Martin provide administrative services, including public records, property assessments, and community development programs for county residents.
Bennett County contains the North American continental pole of inaccessibility, marking the geographical point furthest from any ocean coastline in the continent.
