Do you know of Mendon ???

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

We found mention of Mendon as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Clayton County, Iowa.

It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer.<2>

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1849 and closed  in 1849.
