History Of Black Hills State University:
Spearfish Normal School Cadet BandBlack Hills State University has enjoyed a long and successful history of educating the citizens of South Dakota and the west river region. Before South Dakota had even gained statehood, the people of Black Hills Dakota Territory demonstrated a high regard for education and began advocating for a university in the Black Hills. Dakota Territorial Normal School was founded in 1883. Approximately $800 was raised for the purchase of 40 acres of land. The Dakota Territorial Normal School at Spearfish became a reality in 1883, with a total budget of $2,000 for the first two years of operation.By the end of the first term in July 1884, some 40 students were in attendance. All were studying to hold teaching positions in the region.In August 1885, Fayette L. Cook, Superintendent of Schools for Olmstead County, Minnesota, was hired to be principal (later president) of what was now known as Spearfish Normal. After thirty-four years of service, Professor Cook retired in 1919 having created a stable and successful institution for teacher training for the citizens of South Dakota.In 1941, the college was renamed Black Hills Teachers College, reflecting its mission and curriculum.
