Located about 12 miles northeast of Aberdeen, Columbia, South Dakota, is a very small community in Brown County. There are no major highways intersecting the town.

It had a population of 134 as of July 2009 and its population has decreased about 4% since the 2000 census.

German, Irish, English, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish immigrants settled the area and the town was incorporated in 1885.

Its claim to fame is that it is the oldest community in Brown County.

The James River flows near the town and flooding is a major issue for the community. In 2011 floodwaters engulfed most of the town and it was isolated by flooded roads in the vicinity.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
