[edit] History

South Dakota 28 was first designated around 1934. It absorbed the old route of South Dakota Highway 26, and was extended eastward to U.S. Highway 77 near Estelline. Around 1950, the extension to the Minnesota border was completed.

The westward extension to U.S. 281 was made around 1954. SD 28 may have also eventually extended further west to South Dakota Highway 45, but the current terminus was in place by 1970.
