Miners came from wide and far areas for prospecting the small mountainous town that at the present day is referred to as the heart of the Black Hills. It was the first settlement in this area, but soon after this, the second community was also built up in Custer County.
Hill City has been evolved as a Paleontological, archeological, and geological hub for exploring and discovery of the Black Hills. There is a field museum in Chicago that is named after the name of a Paleontologist who unearthed it.

There has been excellent and thriving build up in this community. With time, many newcomers have been attracted to this area, so this rough and tumble original mining town has been converted into residential build-up and is supporting an increasing number of inhabitants.
This city is one of the oldest existing cities in the United States and the roots of this city are in the black mining hills. In the 1880s tin mining was common in this place and it led to a significant influx of people and capital in this area. Subsequently, the mining industry has waned, the timber and tourism industries have become increasingly popular in this area.
