Do you know of Zelzah ???
This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Zelzah. 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 Zelzah.<1>
Our sources for Zelzah (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 Zelzah other than they indicate that Zelzah would be found somewhere in Los Angeles County, California.
From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1911 and closed in 1929.
