Welcome to Gert ...

So far, we found very little information about Gert. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Gert to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Gert - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Gert, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Gert , we believe that it would have been located within present day Monroe County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Gert, you might consider that their post office opened in 1895.

Time Zone: The area where Gert was located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time

Adding Gert to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Gert was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Gert post office opened in 1895.

We also found Gert on a map titled Rand McNally Map of Michigan (1911).

Footnotes ...

<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Gert, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Michigan's counties, including Monroe, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
