Do you know of East Plato ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1905.
