How old is Dakota?
The Dakota Territory was incorporated as a US territory on March 2, 1861. On November 2, 1889, the remains of the territory became the states of North Dakota and South Dakota.

No specific person or group is credited with founding South Dakota. South Dakota was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The Dakota Territory was established in 1861 by the US Government. The Enabling Act of 1889 allowed several states to form state governments and gain admission to the union. The Dakota Territory was split into two states, North Dakota and South Dakota.

South Dakota was part of the Dakota Territory.

How did South Dakota acquire the land for its state?
The Louisiana Territory, purchased from France in 1803, included what is now South Dakota (and a ton of other land). The sparsely populated tracts began to see growth. Over a period of time, that growth prompted the United States government to establish the Dakota Territory in 1861. (That territory included what is now both Dakotas as well a portions of other states.) More population growth prompted the partitioning of the Dakota Territory. That division essentially created the states of Washington, Montana, and both North Dakota and South Dakota. The Enabling Act of 1889, which was basically a petition for statehood (for the four states mentioned) passed Congress, and it was finally signed into law late that year by President Benjamin Harrison. It was November 2, 1889, and North Dakota and South Dakota became states. (Interestingly, the documents were shuffled before the President signed them, so it is not recorded which state was admitted to the Union first.)
