Quick Facts Country, State ...

Many details of the history of Teddy Bear—including its name—are uncertain. It was never a large town and likely only ever operated as a mining camp with a few buildings. Based on the remains of its architecture, it likely existed before 1900. As of 2006, ruins are still standings, including the remains of basements, an unusual feature in Black Hills architecture.[2]
