Welcome to Sioux County. As it was described in the book, WOLFE STATE GAZETTEER AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY published in the 1880's

"Sioux County---Organized in 1884, is bounded on the north by Dakota Territory, east by Cherry, south by Cheyenne counties, and west by Wyoming Territory. It contains about 4,902 squares miles. The county is well watered by numerous streams, the principal ones being Niobrara, Leau qu Court, Snake, Pine and many others. Numerous lakes abound in the northern part, while to the west, sandhills are numerous. Grazing lands are chiefly along the valleys of the streams."

My name is Thelma Nation and I have lived in Sioux county most of my life. I see the beauty and richness of Sioux County on a regular basis. Please e-mail me if there is anything you would like to see added to this site. Thelma Nation
