Hazel, South Dakota 57242 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

Located in Hamlin County, South Dakota, this very small town had a population of 102 in July 2007, a decrease of almost 5 percent from the 2000 census.

The town is made up of German, Norwegian, English, French, and Irish ancestry.

As with any small town, Hazel struggles with population and the declining trend of people living in small towns and with the closing of the local school, people really leave the area.

The town was named for the daughter of a local landowner, named C. A. Bowley.

The nearest large city is Sioux Falls, about 90 miles away and Hazel is about 200 miles from Minneapolis.

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.
