The town is named for W. H. Pringle, a cattleman who lived in the area.<ref>{{cite book|author=Federal Writers' Project|author-link=Federal Writers' Project|title=South Dakota place-names, v.1-3|series=American guide series|url=http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027015455;view=1up;seq=147|year=1940|publisher=University of South Dakota|page=57}}</ref>

==Geography==
Pringle got its start as a stage stop on the Sidney-Custer Trail. Operated by Henry Pringle, it was called the Point of Rocks Stage Station, named after a prominent and distinct granite outcropping located due east of the current town.

The Sidney-Custer Trail was an important route into the southern Black Hills from [[Nebraska]], and The Point of Rocks Station also served traffic between Cheyenne, Wyoming and Custer.

A small settlement, also called Point of Rocks, soon developed around the stage station. In 1890, the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad track reached the settlement, at which time the town's name was changed to Pringle, named after Anna Carr Pringle, who provided hospitality to the railroad crews when they came through town. The settlement soon boasted a railroad depot and two stores.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.legendsofamerica.com/pringle-south-dakota/|title=Pringle, South Dakota – Trail Town of the Southern Hills – Legends of America}}</ref>

Pringle is most famous as the home of a housing complex devoted to the [[Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]]. The development continues to grow and spark controversy in the area.<ref>[http://www.keloland.com/NewsDetail6162.cfm?Id=25,68195 Raid On Texas Compound Has Authorities Concerned]</ref>
