Blair Colony

Summary

The Blair Colony, also known as the Sully County Colored Colony, was a homestead community established by African-Americans in rural Sully County, South Dakota, United States. It was first established by the family of Norvel Blair in 1883. With the encouragement of the Blairs, dozens more African-American settlers moved to the area over time. During the Great Depression, most of the settlers moved away, and the community is now largely a ghost town.
