Freeman, South Dakota 57029 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

Freeman is a small town in Hutchinson County, South Dakota, on US Highway 81.
The town was incorporated on March 23, 1893, the area being settled by German, Norwegian, Swiss, Danish, and Irish immigrants.
Courtesy of town website:
Located in southeastern South Dakota - in the center of a triangle formed by Sioux Falls, Yankton and Mitchell Freeman has a population of about 1,300 and serves a community of about 8,000. Here's a quick look at this thriving community. Established as a railroad stop in 1879, Freeman quickly became a center for immigrants - primarily Lutheran and Mennonite Germans from Russia - who had arrived in the mid-1870s. The town was not officially incorporated until 1893.
By that time, however, Freeman had already become a center for residences, education, commerce and services. And that foretold the town's destiny.
Today, Freeman enjoys a strong sense of history and tradition. Freeman's slogan "Rich Heritage, Bright Future" is more than just words. Three examples are the Freeman Area Veterans Memorial along Sixth Street, the Heritage Hall Museum Complex south of the Freeman Academy campus and Schmeckfest, the annual celebration of ethnic foods and traditions held every spring.
The community continues to reflect the agricultural base on which Freeman was established 130 years ago.
But today this thriving city also reflects a broad-based economy that includes strong retail, professional services and manufacturing components.
The community's commitment to education - as demonstrated by two strong schools - is balanced by its appeal as a retirement center. The comprehensive medical services and sense of community appeal both to families seeking a good environment for raising children and senior citizens wanting to retire in comfort and security.
