About Kadoka

Kadoka is a city in and the county seat of Jackson County, South Dakota, United States. The 2020 census counted 543 residents. The name "Kadoka" was chosen via a corruption of the Sioux word "Kakloka," transl. Kadoka owns and operates the Kadoka airport. The town has a museum that occupies the building that used to be the train station. That mix gives Kadoka a clear local shape within South Dakota, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present.
