It is the fifth largest city in South Dakota. It is also the principal city of the Watertown Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Codington and Hamlin counties. Watertown is home to the Redlin Art Center which houses many of the original art works produced by Terry Redlin, one of America's most popular wildlife artists. Watertown also is home to the Bramble Park Zoo and the Watertown Regional Library. The Watertown Public Opinion is a six-day daily newspaper published in Watertown. Watertown's residential real estate is considered the most expensive in South Dakota for cities of its size; the median price for a home in Watertown is around $200,000.[7] GeographyWatertown is located at {{coord|44|54|12|N|97|7|14|W|type:city}} (44.903433, -97.120437),[8] along the Big Sioux River.[9] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|25.04|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which, {{convert|17.45|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|7.59|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[10] Watertown sits on the Big Sioux River and two major lakes, Pelican Lake and Lake Kampeska. Most of Watertown also sits upon a short plateau. Elevation at Watertown Regional Airport is 1,745 feet. Watertown has been assigned the ZIP code 57201 and the FIPS place code 69300. HistoryWatertown was founded in 1879 as a rail terminus when the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad reactivated part of a line it had constructed to Lake Kampeska.[2][11] Despite the prominence of rivers and lakes in the area, the city was named after Watertown, New York, the hometown of brothers John E. Kemp and Oscar P. Kemp, two of the city's founders. The town's name was originally planned to be named Kampeska.[2] During the 1880s, Watertown prospered as a transportation hub after the railroads had been extended farther west. Along with several other cities, Watertown had been a candidate as capital of the new state of South Dakota,[2] although it lost out to the more centrally located Pierre. The city's current newspaper, the Watertown Public Opinion, began publishing in 1887.[2] In the mid-20th century, Interstate 29 was constructed through eastern South Dakota.[12] The route included a slight bend to bring the interstate closer to Watertown.[12] The interstate's construction has been a major economic benefit to the larger communities along its route, including Watertown.[12] Climate{{Weather box|Jan high F=21.0|Jan record high F=65|Jan low F=0.6|Jan record low F=-40|Jan precipitation inch=0.55|Jan snow inch=6.0|Feb record high F=66|Feb high F=25.5|Feb low F=4.8|Feb record low F=-38|Feb precipitation inch=0.59|Feb snow inch=6.2|Mar record high F=82|Mar high F=38.3|Mar low F=18.2|Mar record low F=-27|Mar precipitation inch=1.05|Mar snow inch=6.1|Apr record high F=95|Apr high F=55.3|Apr low F=31.8|Apr record low F=-10|Apr precipitation inch=2.09|Apr snow inch=2.5|May record high F=106|May high F=67.8|May low F=43.4|May record low F=16|May precipitation inch=2.86|May snow inch=0.2|Jun record high F=107|Jun high F=77.1|Jun low F=53.7|Jun record low F=25|Jun precipitation inch=3.69|Jun snow inch=0|Jul record high F=110|Jul high F=83.4|Jul low F=58.6|Jul record low F=35|Jul precipitation inch=2.88|Jul snow inch=0|Aug record high F=105|Aug high F=81.6|Aug low F=56.3|Aug record low F=32|Aug precipitation inch=2.28|Aug snow inch=0|Sep record high F=104|Sep high F=71.7|Sep low F=46.6|Sep record low F=9|Sep precipitation inch=2.05|Sep snow inch=0|Oct record low F=-2|Oct record high F=91|Oct high F=58.6|Oct low F=34.8|Oct precipitation inch=1.54|Oct snow inch=1.2|Nov high F=40.2|Nov record high F=77|Nov low F=20.4|Nov record low F=-20|Nov precipitation inch=0.78|Nov snow inch=4.0|Dec record high F=69|Dec high F=26.1|Dec low F=7.3|Dec record low F=-37|Dec precipitation inch=0.51|Dec snow inch=5.1|single line=Y|precipitation colour=green|source 1=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?sd8932|location=Watertown, SD}}Demographics{{US Census population|1880= 746 |1890= 2672 |1900= 3352 |1910= 7010 |1920= 9400 |1930= 10214 |1940= 10617 |1950= 12699 |1960= 14077 |1970= 13388 |1980= 15649 |1990= 17592 |2000= 20237 |2010= 21482 |estyear=2017 |estimate=22222 |estref=[13] |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[14] 2017 Estimate[15] }} The per capita income for the city was $18,994.
