Fort Pierre is located in west-central South Dakota, USA, adjacent to the state capital, Pierre, on the banks of the Missouri River. The city takes its name from the Fort Pierre Trading Post of the early 1800s, which was an important stronghold for the early fur trade and western pioneers. As one of the oldest permanent settlements in South Dakota, it dates back to 1832 and carries a rich heritage of Indian culture and western development.
Today, Fort Pierre's economy is based on livestock and agriculture, while tourism is based on the natural landscape. The surrounding area offers hunting, fishing and outdoor adventure, while the annual Memorial Day event and rodeo showcase a strong western heritage. With a population of approximately 2,000, the city retains its small-town, quiet atmosphere and is located just across the river from the capital, Pierre, which together form the cultural and economic center of the region.
