What is the nickname of South Dakota?
Answer:
The Mount Rushmore State
Why this is the correct answer
South Dakota earned the nickname "The Mount Rushmore State" because the famous sculpture of four presidents — Washington, Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Lincoln — was carved into the granite of the Black Hills between 1927 and 1941. Mount Rushmore is one of the most visited national memorials in the country and is closely tied to the state's identity.
