Pierre: The Smallest State Capital by Population on the Missouri
Pierre, pronounced "peer," sits on the east bank of the Missouri River in Hughes County with a population of 14,091. Only Montpelier, Vermont, ranks smaller among state capitals by population. The city became territorial capital contender and then permanent state capital when South Dakota entered the Union in 1889, chosen partly for its central location. The State Capitol, built between 1905 and 1910 from Marquette raindrop sandstone and Indiana limestone, holds the only known tile rotunda floor installed by Italian craftsmen who pressed a blue granite stone into the pattern as a signature.
The Oahe Dam, three miles north of the city, impounds the Missouri River to create Lake Oahe, a 370,000-acre reservoir extending 231 miles into North Dakota. Completed in 1962, Oahe is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States by volume. Farm Island Recreation Area east of downtown preserves an island in the Missouri where Lewis and Clark camped in 1804.
