Do you know of Arolina ???

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

Our sources for Arolina (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 Arolina other than they indicate that Arolina would be found somewhere in Richmond County, North Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1903.
