Do you know of Red Shoals ???

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

Our sources for Red Shoals (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 Red Shoals other than they indicate that Red Shoals would be found somewhere in Stokes County, North Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1813 and closed  in 1920.
