Do you know of Jersey Landing ???

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

Our sources for Jersey Landing (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 Jersey Landing other than they indicate that Jersey Landing would be found somewhere in Contra Costa County, California.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1878 and closed  in 1891.
