Do you know of Blackberry Station ???

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

Our sources for Blackberry Station (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 Blackberry Station other than they indicate that Blackberry Station would be found somewhere in Kane County, Illinois.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1854 and closed  in 1886.
