History
George and Louis Johnson moved from Chamberlain, South Dakota to the banks of the White River just north of the Pine Ridge Reservation in the 1890s to establish a way-station connecting Gordon, Nebraska to the Black Hills. The settlement was originally called Black with Mary Johnson as its first postmaster. In 1894, the settlement was renamed "Interior".
