It's official: Oglala Lakota County replaces Shannon County name

PIERRE | Get the new signs and letterhead ready: Oglala Lakota County is now the official name of what used to be known as Shannon County.

The Nov. 4 decision by local voters to change their county’s name from Shannon County to Oglala Lakota County completed its official recognition Thursday by the Legislature, as the state Senate gave final approval to the required joint resolution. The measure does not require the signature of the governor to become law.
