History[edit]
Pickstown began as a government town for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees building and then operating nearby Fort Randall Dam. United States Air Force officers and airmen arrived in the 1950s to operate a Strategic Air Command radar base built on a hill three miles east of town, locally known as 'Radar Hill'. Air Force personnel left in the 1970s after the base was closed. Currently, the 'Fort Randall Casino and Hotel' owned and operated by the Yankton Sioux Tribe is located at the abandoned radar base.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owned Pickstown until the town Incorporated in 1985.
