Do you know of Oufa ???

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

Our sources for Oufa (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 Oufa other than they indicate that Oufa would be found somewhere in Steuben County, Indiana.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1880 and closed in 1900.
