About Wasta
Sitting along the Cheyenne River just off Interstate 90, Wasta is a tiny, quiet community in western South Dakota. Its name comes from the Dakota word for "good," and the area offers wide-open prairie scenery and a relaxed, rural pace. While daily life here is peaceful and secluded, having direct highway access means residents are only a short drive from schools in Wall and bigger-city amenities in Rapid City.
