Do you know of Ferrona ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1870 and closed  in 1898.
