Do you know of Key East ???

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

Our sources for Key East (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 Key East other than they indicate that Key East would be found somewhere in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1884 and closed  in 1889.
