Do you know of Bayou Lacomb ???

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

Our sources for Bayou Lacomb (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 Bayou Lacomb other than they indicate that Bayou Lacomb would be found somewhere in Saint Tammany Parish, Louisiana.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1875 and closed  in 1910.
