Do you know of Lyonia ???

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

Our sources for Lyonia (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 Lyonia other than they indicate that Lyonia would be found somewhere in Hancock County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1876 and closed  in 1906.
