It was named for Belgian Father Pierre De Smet, a 19th - century Jesuit missionary who worked with Native Americans in the United States and its territories for most of his life. In the mid 1880s, prairie fires and failures of crops after a three - year period of drought caused many settlers to relocate their farms and homesteads to easier areas. By 1917, De Smet was a cow town, with many trains passing through every day carrying cattle to market.

Notable people De Smet was the childhood home of children 's book author Laura Ingalls Wilder ; the birthplace of her daughter Rose, who became an author known as Rose Wilder Lane ; and the childhood home of supercentenarian Walter Breuning. Artist - illustrator Harvey Dunn was born in 1884 approximately eight miles from De Smet near Manchester, and painted scenes of frontier life in his later years. Harry George Armstrong Armstrong, a Major General in the United States Air Force, a physician, and an airman was born in De Smet in 1899. Attractions Surveyors ' House Since 1971, De Smet has hosted a pageant, held over several weekends in July, to honor Laura Ingalls Wilder. Five of her classic Little House books were based on her experiences in and around the community. The books were popularized anew in the 1970s and early 1980s, from the long - running TV series Little House on the Prairie, which was loosely based on them. The story of how Charles Ingalls and his wife Caroline arrived in De Smet in 1879 by covered wagon from Walnut Grove, Minnesota, is told by a cast of thirty in an open - air theater near the old Ingalls homestead and the Surveyors ' House. Nearby are Silver Lake and the Big Slough, locales mentioned in her books. Reminders of De Smet 's pioneer past are evident throughout the town, including the First Congregational Church, where the Ingalls family worshipped. In 1894, Laura and her husband Almanzo Wilder, with their daughter Rose, left De Smet to live on a farm in the Ozarks near Mansfield, Missouri. There, Laura Ingalls Wilder chronicled her South Dakota memories in such works as The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, and These Happy Golden Years. Many residents in De Smet have made a special effort to learn the Ingalls ' stories in hopes of assisting inquiring tourists each summer. References Jump up ^ Federal Writers ' Project ( 1940 ).
