Book Title: Doane Robinson's Encyclopedia Of South Dakota

  Aberdeen. Chief city of northern South Dakota and county seat of Brown County;
was founded in 1881, immediately due to the construction of the Milwaukee and
Northwestern railways in that year, which induced a great homestead settlement
in that region. It was named for Aberdeen, Scotland, by Charles H. Prior, land
commissioner of the Milwaukee railroad. It is the division headquarters of the
Milwaukee for the coast line and James Valley divisions. The Great Northern
enters the city from the northeast and the St. Louis passes through to its
northern terminal at Leola. It is an important point on the National Yellowstone
Trail (from Plymouth Rock to Pugets Sound). The city has extensive wholesaling
interests and is an important distributing point for agricultural machinery. The
Tri-State Fair holds its annual exposition here. It is the seat of St. Joseph's
(Catholic) Hospital and several private hospitals. The Northern Normal and
Industrial School, a state supported Teacher's College, is one of the most
important and most largely attended educational institutions of the state (q.
v.) Population, see Census. The "Daily American" and "Daily News" are morning
and evening newspapers, respectively. The "Dakota Farmer," an important farm
publication, is published from an extensive establishment located in Aberdeen.
