Sioux County -- Grant No. 2

Matlock Independent -- The first school at Matlock was built in 1880, consisting of two buildings, one at the present location and one 1-1/2 west of town, known as the Creek School (3).  The present school was built in 1927 by Charlie Long and Flynn Roskam.  Only the first 8 grades attended this school.   The older students went to Sheldon.   In 1960, this school was closed and all students attended Sheldon Community School.  The building is now used as a community center for the village of Matlock.
