'''Bristol''' is a city located in western [[Day County, South Dakota|Day County]], [[South Dakota]], United States. It lies in Section 25 of Bristol Township, on the main line of what is now the [[BNSF Railway]] alongside [[U.S. Route 12 in South Dakota|U.S. Route 12]]. The population was 288 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]].<ref name=USCensus>{{cite web |title=U.S. Census Bureau: Bristol city, South Dakota |url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US4607300 |website=www.census.gov |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=22 March 2022 |language=en}}</ref>`

Similar to many towns of the area and of the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] in general, Bristol came into being as a result of railroad expansion. The railroad, which first came through the area in the 1870s, identified the site which would become Bristol as Station #70. C.P. Prior, a district railroad surveyor and townsite agent, was given credit for naming Bristol in 1881. He named the town after [[Bristol]], England.<ref>{{cite book|author=Federal Writers' Project|author-link=Federal Writers' Project|title= South Dakota place-names, v.1-3|url=http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027015455;view=1up;seq=89|year=1940|publisher=University of South Dakota|page=28}}</ref>
