Do you know of Finley Station ???

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

Our sources for Finley Station (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 Finley Station other than they indicate that Finley Station would be found somewhere in Cumberland County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1867 and closed  in 1905.
