Tigerville, South Dakota

Tigerville or Tiger City (1878–1885) is a ghost town in the Black Hills of Pennington County, South Dakota, United States.

[2] Tigerville was founded in 1878 in the King Solomon Mine area, which was known for its gold and quartz placer deposits.

It had a post office, two stores,[2] three saloons, blacksmith, school, and a stage barn, which was a stop on the Cheyenne-Custer-Deadwood line.

In 1880, the town reached 200 residents, and was able to send six delegates to the South Dakota Republican Convention; seeing as Rapid City, South Dakota had only ten at the time, this was a notable accomplishment for the town.

[2] Tigerville is located in the Black Hills of western Pennington County.
