Do you know of Chili ???

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

Our sources for Chili (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 Chili other than they indicate that Chili would be found somewhere in Monroe County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1822 and closed  in 1953.
