Raymond is a very small community located on the western edge of Clark County, South Dakota. German, English, French, Swedish, and Dutch people make up the population of this small town. Population stands at about 70, a 14% decrease from the 2000 census.
As with most small towns, Raymond struggles to stay afloat economically. Many businesses have left or gone out of business but the people in the community take pride in what they can do.
The community is located about a mile off US Highway 212, about an hour from Watertown, the closest large community.
Logan Consolidated Schools was located 1 mile east and 3 miles south of Raymond on the Carpenter road. The rural school housed the kindergarten through senior classes. The athletic teams had the mascot of the Arrows. The school was closed in 1962 and the high school enrollment that year consisted of 12 students.
