Sorum is an unincorporated community in Perkins County, in the U.S. state of South Dakota.[1]
History edit
Sorum was laid out in 1908, and named in honor of Chris Sorum, a local merchant.[2] A post office called Sorum was established in 1910, and remained in operation until 1963. At one point, the town had a newspaper, The Sorum Journal, which ran at least in January 1911. Rabbit Creek runs through the community.[3]
