Do you know of Soleville ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1887 and closed  in 1905.
