Do you know of Coosa Valley ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Coosa Valley. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Coosa Valley.<1>

Our sources for Coosa Valley (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Coosa Valley other than they indicate that Coosa Valley would be found somewhere in Saint Clair County, Alabama.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1856 and closed  in 1908.
