Do you know of Netcong ???

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

Our sources for Netcong (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 Netcong other than they indicate that Netcong would be found somewhere in Morris County, New Jersey.

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