About Wood

Wood is a Mellette County town laid out in 1910 by A. Wood, whose name it took. The town sits in south-central South Dakota, where county government handles roads, public safety, property records, and elections across a wide rural area. Early local institutions included a school district serving Wood and surrounding country, tying the town to the county’s settlement period. County roads, regional schools, and public services tie Wood to the surrounding prairie.
