Do you know of Hedgewood ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1882 and closed  in 1898.
