Do you know of Arendal ???

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

Our sources for Arendal (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 Arendal other than they indicate that Arendal would be found somewhere in Manistee County, Michigan.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1909.
