In the mid 1800s, fur traders, fossil hunters, and freight haulers passed through to places more hospitable. Cattlemen and homesteaders arrived in the 1890s, intent on staying, but most gave up and left.

The Badlands became a national park in 1978. Publisher Description The South Dakota Badlands seldom fails to stir a sense of wonder to those who encounter its surreal landscape for the first time.
