Do you know of Saccarappa ???

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

Our sources for Saccarappa (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 Saccarappa other than they indicate that Saccarappa would be found somewhere in Cumberland County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1797 and closed  in 1890.
