Welcome
A Great Place for Families to Grow
Groton, located in the northeastern corner of South Dakota, was first
organized in 1881 as a railroad stop. This small but growing town is
favorably located at the junction of two major highways (US Highway 12
and SD Highway 37). Groton is one of five small towns in South Dakota
with an increasing population (1400 in the 2010 census) due to its
excellent school system, a healthy business district, and a large range of
recreational activities. Continuing to meet the needs of its citizens of all
ages, the city built a new swimming pool (2009), completed the new ice
skating rink (2010), and maintains an impressive baseball/softball
complex and soccer field. Tennis courts, a basketball court, a walking path
in the city park along with a playground, and a nine-hole golf course are
all popular attractions in this family-friendly community.
