Chance, South Dakota

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

History

A post office called Chance was established in 1901, and remained in operation until 1958.[2] The name may be derived from the local Chance Ranch, or according to tradition, because petitioners for the post office saw "little chance" their efforts would succeed.[3]
