The first South Dakota state flag was officially adopted in 1909. The flag had the State Seal of South Dakota on one side and a blazing sun on the other side.

In 1963 it became costly to produce a flag with images on both sides, so the law was amended to include the state seal and the sun on the same side.

In 1992, the wording on the flag was changed to read "The Mount Rushmore State" in place of "The Sunshine State".
