The Little City with Big Attractions!
Dell Rapids, a small community of 3,052 residents, is located approximately 15 minutes north of Sioux Falls, SD. The city is located in Minnehaha County with a population of 131,000 people.
The city is settled along the beautiful Big Sioux River which has taken centuries to carve through the Pink Sioux Quartzite creating the breath-taking dells the city is named for.
Dell Rapids is rich in history dating back to 1871. Our historic district consists of 39 buildings on Main Street, the towns primary business center. The most striking factor of the district is the use of rose colored quartzite as a facing material on almost all buildings. The majority of the buildings were built before 1903 and several have been restored to their turn of the century elegance, offering unique gifts, entertainment, and dining opportunities.
