The gold rush of 1876 brought many miners to the Black Hills. After the defeat of Lt. Col. George Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn in June 1876, miners, concerned about attacks from the Lakota, requested protection from the US Army.

Fort Meade then transitioned into a Veterans Administration hospital and a regional training institute for the South Dakota National Guard.
