Do you know of Ortley ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1917.
