Beadle County Information
A Little About Beadle County
Beadle County, named in honor of Brig. General William Henry Harrison
Beadle, was created by the South Dakota legislature in 1879 and
formally organized in 1880 with the appointment of three county
commissioners by Gov. Nehemiah Ordway. The first town within
Beadle County was Cavour, but Huron was named the county seat when the
county commissioners first met there in July 1880.
