Do you know of English Lookout ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1878 and closed  in 1902.
