Kingsbury County, County in South Dakota, US
Kingsbury County encompasses 864 square miles of rolling hills and farmland, containing numerous lakes and ponds across its central and eastern regions.
Established in 1873, the county received its name from brothers George W. and T. A. Kingsbury, who served in multiple Dakota Territory Legislatures.
The county seat De Smet maintains strong connections to author Laura Ingalls Wilder, who spent her childhood years in this agricultural region.
The county infrastructure includes U.S. Highway 14, U.S. Highway 81, and South Dakota Highway 25, connecting its eight incorporated municipalities.
E. Frank Peterson published a detailed cadastral map in 1901, documenting land ownership, drainage systems, and wagon roads throughout the county.
