Pennington County was created by the Dakota Territorial Legislature in 1875 and fully organized in 1877, a dozen years before South Dakota was a state. Its seat is Rapid City, and with more than 115,000 residents it ranks as the second most populous county in South Dakota. The county government oversees the services that keep the region running, public health, safety, infrastructure, and community well-being among them, which makes it among the steadier public employers in the western half of the state.
County government carries the public health function for the Rapid City area, so health services roles hire under Pennington County's name rather than a city agency's.
