You might think South Dakota is steakland, but given the number of steaks found in Pierre, the nation's capital, you'd be wrong. Pronounced "Peer," South Dakota's capital Pierre perched on a rocky rock overlooking the Missouri River, it offers some of the best views in the state as well as the best steak. Today, the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Trails near Pierre are an easy to moderate bike ride and a beautiful, densely wooded river island overlooking Lake Pierre. Located north of Pierre on the western edge of North Dakota, the Okobojo Point State Recreation Area offers a variety of hiking, biking, camping, hiking, fishing and many picnic spots.

There is a massive dam on the Missouri River, and the river is located northeast of downtown, a few miles west of Pierre, just a short drive from the capital.

This victory also triggered a construction boom in Pierre, which led to the construction of a number of new buildings during this period, such as the South Dakota State Capitol. The state capital was declared centrally located by the state government and was the first railway when the area was incorporated as a state. It was founded in 1880 and elected by a legislative vote in 1884, the same year that South Dakotans were admitted to the states. It began in 1905 and was completed in 1910, until the question of its location was finally settled, but not before Pierre's construction boom continued.

The construction boom was also driven by the construction of the Fort Pierre - Deadwood Bridge, the first of its kind in the United States. The bridge was important for both Fort Pierre and the Deadwoods Trail, as in 1880 most of the freight arrived in Pierre, not by steam boat, but by train, and most of the dead wood cargo arrived in Pierre.

Fort Pierre did not really boom until the early 20th century, but when gold was found in the Black Hills, Fort Pierre became the first port of call for the US Army Corps of Engineers. In June 1831, a boat reached Pierre, and the opening of the Great Sioux Reserve by the Board fueled economic growth and helped to increase the population of Pierre to 3656. FortPierre also organized a Board of Trade in 1832 to advance the community as a center for trade and commerce with the United States and Canada and other countries.

In 1832, the early facilities were replaced by a new station and a railway bridge over the Black Hills, and people flocked to Pierre itself. Fort Pierre remained the most important settlement until the Chicago and North Western Railroad in Pierre ended its tracks in the 1880s. This led to her reaching Deadwood and overtaking Pierre and FortPierre overall.

After Pierre placed a second monument on the hill, the city of Rugby, North Dakota began to promote itself as the geographical center of North America.

West Pierre became the business center of Pierre and the brickyard produced over 50,000 bricks a day and supplied bricks for the construction of the city's first public school, Pierre High School. East Pierre grew rapidly and hosted the University of North Dakota and a large number of college students and businesses.

The historic hotel opened in 1911 and hosted the South Dakota Legislature before the governor's mansion was built. The building has been the seat of the governor's mansion since the 1940s, and was the seat of the South Dakota Legislature until the governor's seat. In 1940, John D. Daugaard and his wife built the south side of Perry's main street, South Street.

In 1889, South Dakota became the 39th state and North Dakota together, and Pierre was selected as the geographical center of the state. The Huron (left) and Pierre (right) published competing maps claiming that the best place voters should choose as the new capital in 1890 was the city, but the Hurons challenged them to be chosen as the capital and designated it their temporary capital. In 1904, the city became home to the first public school in the United States, Pierre High School, and a number of other institutions.

Steamboats on the Missouri contributed significantly to the economy of Fort Pierre by bringing people and supplies to the area. The major business districts vied for the right to move along or near the Missouri River, as well as access to water from the river.

The Arikara, a gang of Dakota, Lakota and Nakota, were among the tribes that settled in the plains, traded and crossed them. For the gold prospectors from the East, the shortest route to the Black Hills was to meet the Teton Sioux at Fort Pierre, then overland to the Great Sioux Reserve, which was still the only region open to American Indians. In winter, people crossed the river from Pierre to FortPierre, going on ice in winter and on horseback in summer.
