About Stanley County Fair
Fort Pierre is home to the Stanley County Fair, which celebrates the oldest city in South Dakota — Fort Pierre trading post across the Missouri from Pierre dates to the 1800s, and the county cattle ranching on the mixed-grass prairie west of the Missouri River defines a community with deep western heritage.
Visitor Tips
Fort Pierre sits across the Missouri River from Pierre on the west bank. The Verendrye Monument preserves an early French explorer lead plate buried here in 1743. The surrounding mixed-grass prairie ranches define western South Dakota ranching character.
