Do you know of Zorah ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1888 and closed  in 1904.
