Do you know of Port Oram ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1867 and closed  in 1902.
