History

Formed in 1873 from Gregory County, Todd County and S.d. County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Tripp County was created in 1873 from Gregory County, Todd County, and Dakota Territory. The county was named after Bartlett Tripp. In 1882, Tripp lost a small area to the state of Nebraska when the region between 43 degrees north latitude and the Keya Paha and Niobrara Rivers was transferred. Tripp became a county in South Dakota on November 2, 1889, and was fully organized on June 15, 1909, when it detached from Lyman County for judicial purposes.
