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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1892.
