Do you know of Utica Mills ???

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

Our sources for Utica Mills (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 Utica Mills other than they indicate that Utica Mills would be found somewhere in Frederick County, Maryland.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1820 and closed  in 1901.
