A LITTLE HISTORY
Perkins County was formed in 1909 from portions of Butte and Harding
Counties during the "second Dakota boom," a period of westward
expansion fueled by the railroad and land settlement. The county is
named for Henry E. Perkins, a Sturgis resident who was instrumental in
its creation.
