Do you know of Berkeley ???

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

Unfortunately, we didn't note our source when we found mention of Berkeley, so we are uncertain whether Berkeley is a community, a post office or a post office located in a community and having the same name.<2> While we don't have its location, we believe that Berkeley would be found somewhere in Wayne County, North Carolina.

We found sixteen communities that share the name Berkeley.

There is one other community in North Carolina which is also named Berkeley.

Beyond North Carolina, we know of another fifteen communities that are located throughout in the United States and Canada. Of these fifteen communities, fifteen are located in the United States and one is in Canada.

Footnotes ...

<1>This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others.
<2>Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices.
<3>If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer as a placeholder. As we find more information about that community, it will be added to our Gazetteer.

Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places (or areas) where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. For example, you might hear somebody say that they are going over to Mile's to see Pete ... Mile's is just a gas station and a couple of homes at the crossroads. While it might not be on the map, everybody in the area knows it by that name.

Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, several families clustered in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc. The community might still exist, is now gone or only existed for just a short period of time.

Also keep in mind that Berkeley could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong county. Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.
