Do you know of Kenyon ???

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

Our sources for Kenyon (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 Kenyon other than they indicate that Kenyon would be found somewhere in Fresno County, California.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1890 and closed  in 1892.
