Edgemont, South Dakota
Edgemont is a city in Fall River County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 725 at the 2020 census. The city lies on the far southern edge of the Black Hills in southwestern South Dakota.
Edgemont is a crew change point for BNSF freight trains in the Gillette, Wyoming-Alliance, Nebraska division. Nearly 50 pool crews were operating out of the town in early 2023.
Edgemont had its start in 1890 with the building of the Burlington Railroad through that territory.
In 2012, the White Draw Fire burned eight miles northeast of Edgemont. On July 1, 2012, an airplane fighting the fire crashed near town, killing four military personnel and injuring two.
On the morning of January 17, 2017, a BNSF Railway westbound train struck and killed two roadway workers, including the watchman/lookout. The accident occurred at milepost 477, on the Black Hills subdivision, in Edgemont.
On April 25, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Edgemont during a western tour. A photograph, titled Rough Riding by the Black Hill Pioneers--cheering President Roosevelt--Edgemont, S.D., captured the event, showing him being greeted by the "Rough Riders". The Library of Congress also holds a photo from this visit, titled Cheering President Roosevelt - Edgemont, S.D. The image showcases Roosevelt's horseback presence and the enthusiastic reception he received. A digital copy of his speech can be viewed online at the Theodore Roosevelt Center.
A historical marker, erected in 2005 in Edgemont City Park by the Edgemont area and Minnehaha County Historical Societies, reads:
President Theodore Roosevelt (T. R.) stopped in Edgemont on April 25, 1903 as part of a western states tour. Hundreds were on hand to welcome him. An old friend, Seth Bullock of Deadwood, arrived with him. They were then taken by carriage to City Park to the bandstand draped in red, white, and blue bunting. T. R. spoke to the crowd and paid tribute to those pioneers who had tamed “the shaggy wilderness” of the Black Hills area.
