Located in McCook County, South Dakota, about a mile north of SD Highway 38, Spencer has a population of 155 as of July 2007, a 3% decrease from the 2000 census.

The town was incorporated on June 6, 1917, and is made up of German, Irish, Norwegian, French, and English ancestries.

Spencer has the dubius distinction of being struck by a tornado in 1998, which almost wiped out the town.

The Late-May 1998 Tornado Outbreak was a historic tornado outbreak that began on the afternoon of May 30 extending throughout May 31, 1998, across a large portion of the northern half of the United States and southern Ontario from southeastern Montana east and southeastward to the Atlantic Ocean. The initial tornado outbreak, including the devastating Spencer tornado, hit southeast South Dakota on the evening of the May 30.

The Spencer tornado was the most destructive and second deadliest tornado in South Dakota history. 12 people were killed. Over two million people lost electrical power, some for up to 10 days.
