Do you know of Bergen ???
This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Bergen. 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 Bergen.<1>
Unfortunately, we didn't note our source when we found mention of Bergen, so we are uncertain whether Bergen is a community, a post office or a post office located in a community and having the same name.<2> While we don't have its location, we believe that Bergen would be found somewhere in Boone County, Illinois.

| <1> | This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others. |
| <2> | Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices. |
