Crandall is an unincorporated community in Day County, in the U.S. state of South Dakota.[1]

History

A post office called Crandall was established in 1908, and remained in operation until 1973.[2] The community was named for Walter S. Crandell, the relative of a railroad official (a recording error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected).[3]
