About Lake City

Lake City is a Marshall County town laid out in 1914 amid the lakes of northeastern South Dakota. Fort Sisseton Historic State Park lies nearby on the Coteau des Prairies; the 1864 frontier post was built where lake water, timber, clay, and natural elevation supported a military outpost. County conservation history describes Marshall County as a landscape of wooded lakes, rolling coteaus, and drainage toward the James and Little Minnesota rivers. Lake City's present setting links a small town grid to one of the state's strongest frontier and lake districts.
