Do you know of Kane ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Kane. 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 Kane. Our sources for Kane (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 Kane other than they indicate that Kane would be found somewhere in Campbell County, Kentucky. From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1860 and closed in 1903. 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. 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. Communities Also Named Kane ...We found seven communities that share the name Kane. There is one other community in Kentucky which is also named Kane. Beyond Kentucky, we know of another six communities that are located throughout in the United States and Canada. Of these six communities, six are located in the United States and one is in Canada.
