I have seen both Killingworth and Clinton referred to as CN, which was long before the post office started the two character abreviations. CN would be Connecticut. Regards, Janece [email protected]
I've never seen CN as an abbreviation, but it makes sense. I do remember seeing license plates back in the Fifties where the state was abbreviated as CT, just as it is now. FWIW, the New York Times uses the old abbreviations for states: Conn., in this case.
