Nunda Firehouse, Nunda, South Dakota - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

Located in northern Lake County, South Dakota, Nunda had a population of 47 as of July 2008. This shows no change from the 2000 census.

The town was started in the early 1900s and is made up of Norwegian, German, Irish, Swedish, and Dutch ancestries.

The history of the early settlements in this county is somewhat obscure, and not altogether reliable. According to some authorities the first permanent settlers were William Lee, H. N. Luce, W. H. Luce, Henry Miller, Henry Whipple, John Walker, John Hare and Wm. J. Baker, the first two having located claims in June, 1870. The first dwelling, a log cabin, was built by William Lee in the northeast quarter of Section 27, in Town 106, Range 52. These parties were from Minnesota. In 1875, the population of the county had become considerable, and in 1878 immigration set in briskly and nearly every acre of government land was taken within a year or two.
