About Brandon

Brandon is a Minnehaha County city along the Big Sioux River, just east of Sioux Falls. A post office has operated under the Brandon name since 1878, but the city's modern life is strongly suburban, with schools, sports, neighborhoods, and commuters tied to the Sioux Falls metro. Great Bear Recreation Park nearby adds a distinctive local outdoor note, especially for winter recreation. Brandon feels clean, growing, and family-oriented, with small-city South Dakota friendliness and big-city jobs close by.
