About Us:

Surveyed and staked out in 1876 and officially incorporated in 1888, Spearfish is ideally situated in the scenic valley of Spearfish Creek and at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon.Known as the Queen City, Spearfish is surrounded by three prominent mountain peaks - Lookout Mountain, Spearfish Mountain, and Crow Peak which form a "crown" circling the City. Spearfish derived its name from Native Americans and fur traders or trappers in the early 1800's who considered the clear and tumbling stream through the canyon a good place to spear fish.
