Burbank, SD

Set just southeast of Vermillion in Clay County, Burbank is a quiet rural community of fewer than a hundred residents along the Missouri River valley. Living here means wide-open views, quiet country roads, and an easy commute to the University of South Dakota. The area has deep local roots, tracing back to an 1830s fur-trading post and the 1935 founding of the state's first rural electric cooperative by area farmers. Today, it offers a peaceful countryside setting with everyday shopping and dining just a ten-minute drive away.
