Do you know of Fishville ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1905.
