欢迎来到SD福克顿

Faulkton, 一个有736人的友好小镇, 福克县的县城在哪里, 南达科塔州, situated between the James and Missouri Rivers, 沿着U.S. 212号公路. The county area is 1,008 square miles and was named for Territorial Governor Andrew J. 福克,因此得名福克顿.

The community was founded in 1882, before 南达科塔州 became a state. It became the county seat in 1886 when the railroad by-passed LaFoon, the first county seat - now designated by a historic marker five miles east of Faulkton at the intersection of Hwys 45 and 212. Faulkton is near the geographical center of the county.

尼克松河, as it is called locally (South Fork of the Snake, officially) flows past the community of Faulkton. It is also the source of beautiful Lake Faulkton, two miles to the west.

Faulkton is a farming/ranching community. Its economy depends heavily on agriculture. A wide range of crops from soybeans, corn, rye and sunflowers, are grown in the area. Livestock producers abound throughout the Faulkton area with beef operations dominating the industry.
