Do you know of Ostrem ???

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

Our sources for Ostrem (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 Ostrem other than they indicate that Ostrem would be found somewhere in McIntosh County, North Dakota.

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