Roberts County, County in northeastern South Dakota, United States
Roberts County spans 1,136 square miles of rolling agricultural land, bordering Minnesota to the east and North Dakota to the north.
The county was established in 1883 and named after either S.G. Roberts from Fargo or Solomon Robar, a French fur trader in the region.
The Lake Traverse Indian Reservation occupies most of the county, maintaining the traditions of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Native American community.
Interstate 29, U.S. Route 12, and South Dakota Highways 10 and 15 provide transportation access throughout Roberts County.
The county courthouse in Sisseton, completed in 1903, features a restored rotunda with original color schemes and designs from the early 20th century.
