Meckling, South Dakota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Meckling
Meckling is an unincorporated community located in Clay County, South Dakota. Although not tracked by the Census Bureau, Meckling has been assigned the ZIP code of 57044.
Meckling is a small town in the southeast corner of South Dakota. Due to the large number of farms that grow the crop alfalfa it has become known as the "Hay Capital of the Universe". In this fertile Missouri River valley of southeastern South Dakota, alfalfa hay is certainly the crop of choice. Each August Meckling and it's neighboring town Gayville, the Hay Capital of the World host the Annual Hay Days.
In 1972, the local school closed, and the residents were allowed to choose between the Gayville or Vermillion school districts. A couple of families, displeased with those choices, campaigned for an additional selection to be added; Wakonda.
