Piedmont
is located in Meade County in the western portion of South Dakota. It lies within the Red Valley which circles most of the Black Hills. Piedmont takes its name from the French words pied (foot) and mont (mountain)and the fact that the town lies at a point where the Black Hills rise sharply from the Red Valley. Although a newly incorporated city, the Piedmont area has been inhabited since the coming of the railroad in the 1800s. The boundaries of Piedmont include only the oldest part of town, but there are several urban subdivisions located nearby. Piedmont is considered a "bedroom community" to nearby Rapid City. There are a multitude of recreational opportunities available in the Piedmont region, including a 13 ½ mile biking trail along Rapid Creek. You'll also find rock hounding in the nation's oldest mountain range, the Black Hills, scenic golf courses, hiking and biking in the Black Hills National Forest, fishing in over 14 mountain lakes and 300 mountain streams, horseback riding, mountain climbing and more. Other nearby attractions from Piedmont include Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park, and back roads that take you to unexpected ghost towns, abandoned gold mines and homesteads.

Piedmont Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southwestern South Dakota has weather affected by a continental climatic pattern, which results in hot summers and cold winters. The Black Hills region has a more moderate climate than the surrounding prairie. Clouds, approaching from the west, must reach higher altitudes to pass over the Hills. The cool temperatures of the higher altitudes cause the clouds to lose their moisture as they pass over the Hills. Due to this rain shadow effect, annual precipitation in the Hills is much more than the prairie to the east. Temperatures in the Hills are usually about 5 degrees warmer in the winter than in the plains, and 6 degrees cooler in the summertime. The southern Hills have a slightly warmer climate and is drier than the northern Hills.
