Do you know of Loughridge ???

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

Our sources for Loughridge (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 Loughridge other than they indicate that Loughridge would be found somewhere in Murray County, Georgia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1881 and closed  in 1901.
