South Dakota

The Mount Rushmore State of South Dakota is in the Midwestern region of the United States. With a population of less than one million people living within its 77,000 square mile territory, it’s one of the least densely populated states in the country. South Dakota is probably most famous for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial carved out of the granite rock of the Black Hills near Keystone between 1927 and 1941, hence its adoption as the state nickname.
