Do you know of Napoleon ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1881 and closed  in 1907.
