The 1889 discovery of gold and copper that led to the rapid development of the northern Great Plains is associated with the Black Hills region. This discovery played a role in the settlement of the area. However, it's important to note that statehood is typically a result of various factors, including population growth and political considerations.
In this context, one of the places that gained statehood following this period of development was South Dakota. South Dakota became a state on November 2, 1889, along with North Dakota, as part of the Dakota Territory.
