Do you know of Rickord ???

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

Our sources for Rickord (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 Rickord other than they indicate that Rickord would be found somewhere in Hardin County, Iowa.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1885 and closed in 1898.
