In the 1889 election to see where the Capital of South Dakota should be located, the residents of Hughes County where Pierre is located gave 1,389 votes for Pierre, 6 votes for Sioux Falls, 2 voted for Watertown and a single vote was cast in favor of Huron.
The first temporary wooden Capitol building was a two story building with basement, a 100' by 50' frontage and a 90' by 50' wing that cost the State $25,000.
