Spearfish is a small town located in Lawrence County in west-central South Dakota. The population is approximately 8,600 residents. This historic community known as "the Queen City," is ideally situated in the scenic valley of Spearfish Creek at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon. Three mountain peaks surround the city -Lookout Mountain, Spearfish Mountain, and Crow Peak which form the Queen's "crown" circling the city. Spearfish derived its name from Native Americans and fur traders or trappers in the early 1800's who considered the clear and tumbling stream through the canyon a good place to spear fish. In 1893, a railroad was built through Spearfish Canyon. This route soon became an outstanding scenic attraction of the Black Hills and a roadway replaced the railroad through Spearfish Canyon. The town today features classic turn-of-the-century architecture and a main street lined with unique boutiques, restaurants and specialty shops. Nearby, the Black Hills National Forest provides numerous outdoor recreational opportunities including outstanding fishing, hiking, mountain biking and skiing.
