An unincorporated community, it was designated as part of the U.S. Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program on March 31, 2010.[2] It was not counted separately during the 2000 Census,[4] but was included in the 2010 Census, where its population was reported to be 27.[5][6]

The community lies along North Dakota Highway 27 east of the city of Lisbon, the county seat of Ransom County.[2] Originally named Sandoun for the many sand dunes in the area, it was renamed McLeod for local realtor J. J. McLeod.[7]
