Nemo, South Dakota
Located in Lawrence County
Lawrence County derives its name from its first county treasurer, Colonel John Lawrence, (1839-1889). It is located on the western border of South Dakota. It is bordered by Butte County on the North, Meade County on the East and Pennington County on the South. The cities of Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish, Whitewood and the township of St. Onge are located within Lawrence County. The County Seat is located in historic Deadwood.
Lawrence County has a rich and illustrious history spanning over 100 years. It is home to Homestake Gold Mine, the worlds longest producing gold mine. Deadwood, at one time the largest town in South Dakota (and the Dakota Territory), was the central hub for trade and transportation in the region. "Wild Bill" Hickock, a well known scout, and eventually a frontier Marshall, was shot and killed in Deadwood in 1876. Calamity Jane, a pony-express rider and army scout, settled in Deadwood in the late 1800's, and is buried next to Wild Bill Hickock in the Mount Moriah cemetery in Deadwood.
