Terry, South Dakota

Terry is an unincorporated community in Lawrence County, South Dakota, United States.

The gold around Terry was non free milling, or visible to the eye, and required more processing to be viable.

In the 1880s, a smelting and chlorination plant was built in nearby Deadwood and miners moved to what became Terry.

The town was home to the Golden Reward mine, which was created 1887 to take advantage of the advances in gold ore processing.

[2] A post office called Terry was established in 1892, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1929.
