Do you know of Harlow ???

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

Our sources for Harlow (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 Harlow other than they indicate that Harlow would be found somewhere in Bolivar County, Mississippi.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1908 and closed  in 1915.
