Do you know of Ceresco ???

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

Our sources for Ceresco (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 Ceresco other than they indicate that Ceresco would be found somewhere in Blue Earth County, Minnesota.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1857 and closed  in 1900.
