On November 2, 1889, South Dakota was officially admitted as the 40th state of the United States, rather than being specifically explored on that date. 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.

When did North Dakota South Dakota and Washington become states?
North Dakota and South Dakota were both part of the Dakota Territory. They became separate states on November 2, 1889, when President Harrison signed the law making them the 39th and 40th states of the United States.

How did South Dakota acquire the land for its state?
The Louisiana Territory, purchased from France in 1803, included what is now South Dakota (and a ton of other land). The sparsely populated tracts began to see growth. Over a period of time, that growth prompted the United States government to establish the Dakota Territory in 1861. (That territory included what is now both Dakotas as well a portions of other states.) More population growth prompted the partitioning of the Dakota Territory. That division essentially created the states of Washington, Montana, and both North Dakota and South Dakota. The Enabling Act of 1889, which was basically a petition for statehood (for the four states mentioned) passed Congress, and it was finally signed into law late that year by President Benjamin Harrison. It was November 2, 1889, and North Dakota and South Dakota became states. (Interestingly, the documents were shuffled before the President signed them, so it is not recorded which state was admitted to the Union first.)
