Do you know of Helican ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Helican. 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 Helican.<1>

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