Do you know of East Java ???

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

Our sources for East Java (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 East Java other than they indicate that East Java would be found somewhere in Wyoming County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1832 and closed  in 1905.
