Bennett County was created in 1909 and organized in 1912. Prior to 1912, Bennett County formed a part of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Although the county was created in 1909, it remained attached to Fall River County for judicial purposes until 1911. The first election and county commissioners meeting was held in Martin in April 27, 1912. A decision on the location of the county seat took some time and discussion. At the general election held in November 1912, Martin was chosen.
