Java is a town in Walworth County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 121 at the 2020 census.[6]
Java derives its name from Java coffee, and Coffee Town was an early variant name.[7] Java received its name from railroad crews on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Line who would stop for coffee in the town prior to the railroad's relocation in 1908.[8]
