This Eagle project is located around the junction of County Road 11 and South Splitrock Blvd, in Brandon, SD. It included designing and installing evergreen shrubs, bushes, and trees around the local Veterans' Memorial.
Brandon is a growing city in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, about 5 miles east of the state’s largest city, Sioux Falls.
As of the 2010 census, its population was 8,785 and the US Census Bureau estimated the population of 8,905 as of July 2011.
German, Norwegian, Irish, Dutch, and Swedish immigrants settled the area and the town was platted in 1878 by the Worthington & Sioux Falls Railroad, a division of the Chicago & Northwestern line. The post office was established later that year.
Brandon spent most of its life as a ‘bedroom’ community, where people lived but worked in Sioux Falls. Because of this, the town was not incorporated until 1973.
