Do you know of Center Brunswick ???

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

Our sources for Center Brunswick (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 Center Brunswick other than they indicate that Center Brunswick would be found somewhere in Rensselaer County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1893 and closed  in 1906.
