Welcome to Rosholt, South Dakota.

Rosholt was named for railroad builder Julius Rosholt (JT.5). The Fairmont and Veblen railroad was built there in 1913-1914. The town's newspaper, The Rosholt Review, in its first issue, Dec 4, 1913, describes Mr. Rosholt as being fond of saying "My railroads may not be as long as the others, but they are just as wide."

Here is a view of Rosholt, South Dakota from the air.
