Do you know of Loudon Ridge ???

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

Our sources for Loudon Ridge (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 Loudon Ridge other than they indicate that Loudon Ridge would be found somewhere in Merrimack County, New Hampshire.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1825 and closed  in 1903.
