Do you know of Alcora ???

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

Our sources for Alcora (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 Alcora other than they indicate that Alcora would be found somewhere in Newton County, Missouri.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1899 and closed  in 1901.
