Belle-Fourche
is the county seat for Butte County in northwestern South Dakota. As of the 2000 census, it had a population of 4,565 residents. Belle Fourche is the site of the geographic center of the United States. It's marked by a monument at the Visitor's Center and the Tri State Museum, which is a museum dedicated to the early pioneers of the area. Belle Fourche means "beautiful fork" and was named by French explorers when the area was owned by France in the early 1800s. In 1884, the Marquis de Mores, a French nobleman and contemporary of Theodore Roosevelt, established a stage line between Medora, North Dakota and Deadwood, South Dakota. The Belle Fourche way station included a stage barn and a saloon. Today, Belle Fourche is a mostly rural community with strong, traditional Midwest values, a low crime rate and a great place to live or to visit. It is situated at the rim of the Black Hills and recreational opportunities abound. Belle Fourche is also home to several antique shops, museums, restaurants, hotels and campgrounds. One of America's premier rodeos - The Black Hills Roundup, is held each July in Belle Fourche. Other attractions include Herrmann Park, Orman Dam and the Belle Fourche Country Club.
