Pedro is a populated place in Pennington County, South Dakota, United States.[1] Pedro once had a population of 300 and had its own newspaper, the Pedro Bugle, but is now a ghost town.[2]
The community's name was selected during a session of the card game Pedro.[3]
Carrie Ingalls (Little House on the Prairie) worked for E.L. Senn (who owned as many as fifty-one newspapers in South Dakota at that time)[4] in Pedro, which was not too far from her claim. By the summer of 1909, she was the manager working for Senn at the Pedro Bugle[5] [6] [7]
