Welcome to Vermillion, where small-town charm abounds and there's always plenty to do! One of the oldest cities in South Dakota, Vermillion is home to over 11,000 people, hundreds of businesses, and the University of South Dakota, the state’s flagship liberal arts university (which almost doubles the city’s population when school is in session). With an array of community events, social service organizations, arts programs, volunteer opportunities, and recreational amenities, there’s never a shortage of things to do if you care to look.
Vermillion is a city of scholars, artists, students, farmers, entrepreneurs, builders, thinkers, and doers, and we welcome you to explore all our town has to offer.
