TIP #300 - POST OFFICES IN KENTUCKY,1874. Many little towns and communities have disappeared over the years. Many queries I see daily involve questions about little villages where ancestors said they were born or lived and they cannot always be found in the year 2000. Some towns have changed names, some came into existence later. According to Collins' History of Kentucky, these are the towns existing in March 1874 that had post offices.
