Oldham is a small city in Kingsbury County, South Dakota, United States, located in the eastern part of the state, about 150 kilometers from the state capital, Pierre, and near the larger city of Watertown. Founded in the late 19th century, the city was named after an early settler or a railroad development related name, and has a small population of about 100 as of the most recent data, which is typical of a Midwestern rural community in the United States.
Oldham's economy is primarily agricultural, with corn and soybeans widely grown in the surrounding area, along with livestock. The city's infrastructure is simple, including basic public services and a few local businesses, and the pace of life is slow, reflecting the quiet character of rural communities in the United States. Transportation relies on the state highway network to connect to nearby towns and cities, and the education system often shares resources with neighboring school districts.
The city's climate is continental with four distinct seasons, with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. Although it lacks notable tourist attractions, its natural environment and traditional agricultural landscape attract a small number of visitors to experience the Midwest. Overall, Oldham represents the typical lifestyle of a small South Dakota town, emphasizing close-knit communities and traditional values.
