History
A post office called Amherst was established in 1887.[2] The community most likely takes its name from Amherst, Massachusetts.[3]
Approximately two and half miles southeast of the village a rupture of the Keystone Pipeline caused what is being called the largest oil spill in South Dakota history on November 16, 2017.[4] The spill is an area about 100 yards in radius within a conservation reserve field about a mile east of 416 Avenue south of the village.[5]
