Originally settled by only four lonely pioneers, Aberdeen has now grown to become the county seat of Brown County, SD. Aberdeen’s fate was former county-seat Columbus’ misfortune; when word spread that the local railroad would build a depot in Columbus, land prices skyrocketed so high that the railroad backed off their land deal. They moved to Aberdeen, and the county seat moved with them.

The county seat could not have picked a better location because Aberdeen is a charming place with many wonderful sites to see!  Popular attractions include Wylie Park, the Storybook Land theme park, the Brown County Fair which is held annually in August, Kuhnert Arboretum, Dacotah Prairie Museum and Thunder Road. 

Aberdeen has also been home to many famous faces.  Such faces include L. Frank Baum, Tom Daschle, Justin Duchscherer, Thomas Dunn, Josh Heupel, Julie Sommars, and Rollie Fingers.  Therefore not only will one get to see beautiful attractions in Aberdeen, but also the traces of these famous people!
