Summary
Sioux County was established in 1877. The town of Harrison, which was platted in 1886, was made the county seat. The first courthouse, built of locally produced brick, was completed in 1888. By early 1929 the old courthouse was in a badly deteriorated condition. In 1930, voters passed a measure to issue bonds for a new courthouse. Construction began that same year and in 1931 the county offices opened in the new Classical Revival-style courthouse.
