Do you know of West Cornville ???

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

Our sources for West Cornville (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 West Cornville other than they indicate that West Cornville would be found somewhere in Somerset County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1862 and closed  in 1902.
