Welcome to Howard, South Dakota, a place rich in farm country heritage. Close to nature, Howard is a town offering a healthy change of pace from urban life.

Howard is a place where neighbors know one another,
where anyone can have a real voice in community planning,
and where a five-foot-seven kid has a shot at both
starting on the high school football team and playing
trumpet in the band.

Howard is a place with eyes to the future, particularly in the emerging green industries of renewable energy and organic foods. This community rejects the notion that small town life means sacrificing good wages, opportunity and innovation.

Howard is a place thriving with new industries that are delivering well-paying jobs with benefits and valuable training. Our community offers entrepreneurs a supportive environment for jump-starting their dreams, and young families the chance to buy affordable housing.

Welcome to Howard, a place where opportunity lives.
