Company History

Beginning with the Black Hills Gold Rush, generations of families have relied on us. And we’ve been ready.


History

We were there when electric lights first lit up the night in Deadwood. We helped fuel a changing economy and experienced how the modern miracle of energy can change how we live.

Since 1883 energy has moved us forward. And it will shape the future.

This book commemorates the first 135 years of Black Hills Corporation. We have a proud history of change, progress, and growth through both good and challenging times.

As you’ll see in the pages, the common thread throughout our history is a timeless and tireless commitment to serve our customers and communities. Every service we provide and every utility investment
we make is centered on doing what’s best for each of our now 1.25 million customers and the communities in which they live. Download the pdf to read the whole story.
