History


Jackson was originally called Springfield, and under the latter name was laid out in 1856.[6] A post office called Jackson has been in operation since 1858.[7]

On March 26 1857 the Wahpekute Dakota Chief Inkpaduta and his band attacked the settlement heading north after the Spirit Lake Massacre. There were 11 able bodied men in Springfield and three men, three children and one woman died as a result. Lost to the raiders were 12 horses, dry goods, lead and powder. The sole survivor of the Spirit Lake attack was 14 year old Abbie Gardner.
