HISTORY
CLOSEST FREEWAY: I-90
APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 14,386
As the magic of rail road transportation reached South Dakota
in the late 1800s rail stops began to pop up to accommodate the
needs of the crew and future travelers. In 1881, Mitchell was
born to meet this need. How did it get its name? The rail road
president at the time was Alexander Mitchell and my guess is
that some enterprising employee made the choice in hopes of scoring
some points with the big boss.
