    Dakota territory coat of arms

    South Dakota began official birth registration in 1905, though some earlier documentation exists in church records and local archives. Births from settlers and Native American communities may appear in religious or mission records.

    The South Dakota Department of Health maintains birth certificates with a 100-year restriction on access. South Dakota, with its Native American heritage, is home to tribes such as the Sioux. The state saw migration during the westward expansion, particularly due to the Black Hills Gold Rush.
