Do you know of Beno ???

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

Our source wasn't clear whether Beno was a community, a post office or a post office located in a community and having the same name.<2> While we don't have its location, we believe that Beno would be found somewhere in Perry County, Kentucky.

Footnotes ...

<1>This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others.
<2>Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices.
