Custer

Custer, South Dakota
The Oldest Town in the Black Hills
Custer, the oldest town in the Black Hills was originally established by European Americans when gold was found during the 1874 Black Hills Expedition conducted by the 7th Calvalry, led by Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer. A discovery which initiated the Black Hills Gold Rush. 

Centrally located in the Black Hills, Custer entices residents to the area with spectacular scenery, a wide variety of recreational opportunities, world-class attractions, a healthy environment, a sense of community. Surrounded by 1.2 million acres of the Black Hills National Forest, Custer City has three city parks, ball fields, horseshoe pits, volleyball and tennis courts, community swimming pool, nine-hole public golf course, disc golf course, skateboard park and aerobics/activities at the YMCA. For those of us who are fortunate enough to live and work here, it truly is the gold at the end of the rainbow.
