Do you know of Shivelton ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Shivelton. 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 Shivelton.<1> We found mention of Shivelton as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Platte County, Missouri. It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer.<2> From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1868 and closed in 1877. Miscellaneous References and Mentions for Shivelton ...We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Shivelton: Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3> List of Post Offices in the United States (1870)
