Do you know of Highlandville ???

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

Our sources for Highlandville (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 Highlandville other than they indicate that Highlandville would be found somewhere in Norfolk County, Massachusetts.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1871 and closed  in 1907.
