Welcome to Alicante ...
So far, we have found very little information about Alicante. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Alicante to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Alicante - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Alicante, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Alicante, we believe that it would have been located within present day Lake County<2>.
Time Zone: The area where Alicante was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time
If Alicante still existed, it would have been in the (719) area code.
Adding Alicante to Our Gazetteer ...
As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
That's the case with Alicante: The earliest book where we found it mentioned was in the Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).
For more details about the above, see References and Mentions for Alicante on our Genealogy Page.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Alicante, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
