Do you know of Kenosha ???

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

Our sources for Kenosha (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 Kenosha other than they indicate that Kenosha would be found somewhere in Park County, Colorado.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1893.
