South Dakota Facts:
South Dakota is one of the more northern states in the Midwest, a quiet state with a mostly rural landscape and agricultural economy. There are not quite ten people per square mile living in South Dakota! The state capital is Pierre, but the largest city in the state is Sioux Falls, with a population of 150,000. South Dakota is probably best known for being the location of Mount Rushmore, the National Park Service landmark. Mount Rushmore famously depicts massive busts of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
