Welcome to Jordan ...
So far, we found very little information about Jordan. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Jordan to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Jordan - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Jordan, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Jordan , we believe that it would have been located within present day Iron County<2>.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Jordan, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was in a book dated 1895.
Time Zone: The area where Jordan was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

Adding Jordan to Our Gazetteer ...
As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Jordan was in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Jordan, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
