How Much Local History Do You Know?

 

Sturgis was established in 1878 and was initially known by the early settlers as “Scooptown.” This nickname stemmed from its role as a settlement at the base of Bear Butte, where it served as a hub for supplying Camp Sturgis soldiers with various services, often catering to their vices. As the city’s importance grew with the establishment of Fort Meade, the inhabitants of Scooptown relocated en masse to Sturgis, bringing their businesses with them. The town was named in honor of Civil War Union General Samuel D. Sturgis and, by 1889, it had become the county seat of the newly formed Meade County.

 

In addition to its rich history, Sturgis played a significant role during the Cold War era as part of the extensive Ellsworth Air Force Base complex. The area north of Sturgis was dotted with 50 Minuteman missile silos, including Minuteman missile silo L-5, which is located just 3.5 miles from the town center.

 

In more recent history, towards the end of the summer of 2015, the Full Throttle Saloon — famously known as the world’s largest biker bar and a focus of the reality TV series “Full Throttle Saloon” — was tragically destroyed by fire. However, demonstrating the resilient spirit of the community, it was rebuilt on a sprawling 600-acre site near Vale, close to Bear Butte, continuing its legacy in the area.
