Oglala Lakota County, known as Shannon County until May 2015, is a county located in the U.S. state of South Dakota. The population was 13,586 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/46/46113.html )〕 Oglala Lakota County does not have its own county seat. Instead, Hot Springs in neighboring Fall River County serves as its administrative center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The county was created as a part of the Dakota Territory in 1875, although it remains unorganized. Its largest community is Pine Ridge. The county is entirely within the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and contains part of Badlands National Park. It is one of five South Dakota counties entirely on an Indian reservation. (The others are Corson, Dewey, Todd, and Ziebach.) The county's per-capita income makes it the poorest county in the United States.〔United States counties by per capita income〕 It is the only dry county in South Dakota. == History == The place of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre is located in Oglala Lakota County. The county was originally named for Peter C. Shannon, Chief Justice of the Dakota Territory Supreme Court. Until 1982, Shannon County and Washabaugh County, South Dakota, were the last unorganized counties in the United States. Although it was organized and received a home rule charter that year, the county, as noted above, contracts with Fall River County for its Auditor, Treasurer, and Registrar of Deeds.〔(), accessed April 19, 2009.〕 On November 4, 2014, voters in the county voted by a margin of 2,161 to 526 to rename Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County.〔David Montgomery, ("Shannon County no more: Voters approve name change" ), ''Argus Leader'', November 5, 2014.〕 The name change was ratified by the state legislature on March 5, 2015.〔 〕 May 1st, 2015 was proclaimed by the governor as the official day for renaming the county.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
