However, the region was explored earlier by figures such as Lewis and Clark in the early 1800s during their expedition. Other notable explorers and settlers followed, contributing to the understanding and development of the area.
Two such explorers were Christopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés.

The land that makes up South Dakota has existed since the creation of the surface of the earth. Native peoples occupied these lands for tens of thousands of years before the first white settlers arrived in the area. In 1679, the first Caucasian people reached what is now South Dakota, and they were French explorers.
