Do you know of Franceville Junction ???

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

Our sources for Franceville Junction (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 Franceville Junction other than they indicate that Franceville Junction would be found somewhere in El Paso County, Colorado.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1892 and closed  in 1899.
