Incorporated in 1911, Newell is a small city in Butte County, South Dakota. When George Custer made his exploration of the Black Hills in 1874, he camped near Newell. The town grew from the construction of Orman Dam, which was the largest earthen reservoir in the world at the time, and was named for Frederick Haynes Newell, who held the office of Chief Engineer of the United States Reclamation Service at the time.
