Welcome to Mere ...

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

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

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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Mere, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1852.

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

Adding Mere to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

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

From that list, the Mere post office opened in 1852.

For more details, see References and Mentions for Mere.

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 Mere, 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 Macomb, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
