Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about New Sweden came from various goverment sources (GNIS, FIPS), we also found mention of New Sweden in various books and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about New Sweden. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: Initially, we were careless about keeping track of where our New Sweden data came from. The following list of references and mentions is incomplete.

Published by Rand McNally & Co.

A note taken from the Shipper's Guide for New Sweden:
Services available in 1895: had a Post Office, no Railroad mentioned

New Sweden is contained in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<1>
