Water TowerThe city of Canton is just 31 minutes south of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We are bordered by the Big Sioux River to the east and State Highway 11 to the west. From Sioux Falls travel south on Interstate 29 to U S Highway 18 exit 62. Then east about 10 miles and you've found us!

Canton Community Profile

Canton, South Dakota, population 3100, is located just 10 miles east of Interstate 29 on US Highway 18. Our community is approximately 20 miles south of Sioux Falls. We're surrounded by Newton Hills State Park, Big Sioux River, and the rolling hills of the Sioux Valley. Canton is the County Seat of Lincoln County. An $8.9 million dollar expansion of the courthouse, now under construction, will add much needed space to this historic building.  Canton was also awarded the “2004 Community of the Year” by Governor Mike Rounds at the annual Governors Economic Development Conference. Our community's welcoming atmosphere and our rich, 140 year history, will make you feel at home.

Message from the Mayor

Welcome to our website!

 

Our fair City of Canton has chosen the mission statement: To be a premier South Dakota community. To that end our talented, dedicated city staff along with community leaders and the elected commissioners have embarked upon a strategic plan that lays the foundation for Canton to develop and grow a desirable, progressive community.

 

Rich in history and tradition "The Gateway City" of Canton is positioned to launch into the future. We are exploring green technology to power our community, expanding our infrastructure to handle growth, improving and expanding our amenities to exceed the desires of each generation, and are commencing on new collaborations with civic groups and our strong educational system to prove our commitment to be a premier South Dakota community.

 

I invite you to visit us.

 

Cordially,

Jonathan Toso, OD
