Do you know of Lord ???

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

Our sources for Lord (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 Lord other than they indicate that Lord would be found somewhere in Allegany County, Maryland.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1901 and closed  in 1925.
