About Blunt
Blunt is a quiet prairie town in Hughes County, sitting about twenty miles east of Pierre along Highway 14. Founded in the 1880s as a railroad stop, it quickly grew into a bustling boomtown before settling into the small, peaceful farming community it is today. Life here is straightforward and unhurried, with quiet streets, towering grain elevators, and wide-open views of the surrounding South Dakota plains.
Because Pierre is only about a twenty-minute drive away, most residents easily commute into the capital for jobs, major shopping, healthcare, and dining. The nearby Missouri River and Lake Oahe also make it easy to spend weekends boating, camping, or walleye fishing. Blunt offers an affordable, low-key place to call home, where you can enjoy small-town quiet while keeping regional city conveniences close at hand.
