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.

As Mayor of the City of Canton, it is a pleasure for me to welcome you to our wonderful community of 3,100 people. Located in the valley of the Big Sioux River, 30 miles south of Sioux Falls, Canton offers all the amenities of small town living while being able to offer the larger entertainment venues of city life within minutes.
Canton was founded prior to South Dakota becoming a state, so we are a city with an abundant history. Much of that history is still visible throughout the community today. While we are proud of our past, we also are looking towards our future. That future is bright with opportunities. Those opportunities can be achieved with everyone working together to attain the goal of making Canton a better place to live, work and play!
The goal of the City Commission and our dedicated staff of municipal employees is to provide you with the best of municipal services as economically as possible.
It is my hope that you will take time to visit and enjoy our great city and all the opportunities that this area has to offer.
