About Whitewood

Set against the pine-covered foothills on the eastern edge of the Black Hills, Whitewood is a quiet community with a relaxed, small-town pace. What started as a booming railroad hub in the late 1800s has evolved into a welcoming place to put down roots. Sitting right along Interstate 90 between Sturgis and Spearfish, it gives residents easy access to regional jobs, outdoor trails, and nearby mountain towns while keeping everyday life calm and unhurried.
