Do you know of Christopher ???

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

Our sources for Christopher (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 Christopher other than they indicate that Christopher would be found somewhere in Reno County, Kansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1882 and closed  in 1892.
