Do you know of Rockliff ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1906 and closed  in 1919.
