Do you know of Dit ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1899.
