                           EDEN, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. President, today I pay 
tribute to Eden, SD, on reaching its centennial anniversary. Since its 
beginning, this small town in Marshall County has embodied the values 
that South Dakota was founded upon. The residents of Eden will be 
celebrating this joyous occasion over the weekend of June 27-29, 2014.
  Originally known as Eden Park, homesteaders settling the area chose 
its name because of the area's beautiful scenery and numerous 
surrounding lakes. Eden itself was founded after residents of Eden Park 
decided to relocate near the new railroad in 1914. Known for its 
fertile soil, Eden is surrounded by vibrant farmland and is home to 
several successful businesses.
  Eden exemplifies the hometown community spirit of South Dakota. After 
100 years Eden is still thriving, and it is my honor to publicly 
congratulate its residents on reaching this commendable 
milestone.
