Do you know of Council Hill Station ???

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

Our sources for Council Hill 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 Council Hill Station other than they indicate that Council Hill Station would be found somewhere in Jo Daviess County, Illinois.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1858 and closed  in 1895.
