Wallace is a town in Codington County, South Dakota, United States.

[7] Wallace is the birthplace of Hubert Humphrey, the Vice President of the United States from 1965 to 1969.

He was the son of Ragnild Kristine Sannes (1883–1973), a Norwegian immigrant, and Hubert Horatio Humphrey Sr. (1882–1949).

His father was a licensed pharmacist and merchant who served as mayor and a town council member; he also served briefly in the South Dakota state legislature and was a South Dakota delegate to the 1944 and 1948 Democratic National Conventions.

In the late 1920s, a severe economic downturn hit Doland; both of the town's banks closed and Humphrey's father struggled to keep his store open.

After his son graduated from Doland High School, Hubert Sr. left the area and opened a new drugstore in the larger town of Huron (population 11,000), where he hoped to improve his fortunes.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.13 square miles (0.34 km2), all land.
