Do you know of Blackfish ???

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

Our sources for Blackfish (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 Blackfish other than they indicate that Blackfish would be found somewhere in Crittenden County, Arkansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1877 and closed  in 1887.
