Sturgis History

The city of Sturgis was founded in August 1876 and is often referred to as the Key City of the Black Hills. It was named for Major Samuel D. Sturgis, commander at the nearby Fort Meade Cavalry Post. Fort Meade, on the eastern edge of Sturgis, served as a United States Cavalry post to nearly every cavalry regiment in the US army. While there is some evidence of fur traders, explorers & military expeditions, visiting the area that now makes up Meade County, it wasn't until the discovery of gold in the Black Hills that any large number of whites visited the area. The three famous historic highways to the Hills, in the Gold Rush Days, converged at a stage station near Bear Butte.

The Community

The current population of the City of Sturgis is 6,682 people. Located six miles northeast of Sturgis on Highway 79 is "Mato Paha" or "sleeping bear mountain". It stands alone in the plains just beyond the Black Hills. Bear Butte is a holy mountain to the Sioux and Cheyenne who still make pilgrimages here. The State Park includes visitor center, buffalo herds and hiking trails to the summit.
