The territory that would become South Dakota was added to the United States in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase.The first permanent American settlement was established at Fort Pierre by the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804.White settlement of the territory in the 1800sled to clashes with the Sioux, as some of the lands had been granted to the tribe by an earlier treaty.
The current South Dakota Flag is a lovely shade of sky blue with the state seal superimposed on the golden rays of the radiant sun. Surrounding the sun are the yellow colored words, "South Dakota" and "The Mount Rushmore State."
The state seal on the South Dakota Flag truly depicts the rich diversity in the state's resources and various industries. The image of the farmer tilling his land represents agriculture, while the smelter stands for mining and manufacturing. The steamboat is a symbol for the state's commerce and the trees symbolize timber.
The river and the mountains are the natural wealth of the state. Written across the upper portion of this scenic image is the motto of South Dakota, "Under God the People Rule." Bordering the seal are the words, "State of South Dakota" and "Great Seal".
The year 1889 represents the date South Dakota was admitted to the Union. The sun's rays represent South Dakota's earlier nickname as the Sunshine State. South Dakota's state nickname is The Mount Rushmore State.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior South Dakota flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of South Dakota flag for the future.
