THE AREA

ABERDEEN, South Dakota is a place of blue sky, clean air and wide open spaces. The city began in the late nineteenth century when the railroads were built through Dakota Territory, and it grew into a strong agricultural center that has now diversified into manufacturing and service. With a population of about 25,000, Aberdeen is the third largest city in the state. It combines the traditional Midwestern hospitality with the progressiveness of a metropolitan area to create a safe and friendly environment which fosters the pursuit of education.
