Do you know of Ira Station ???

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

Our sources for Ira Station (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 Ira Station other than they indicate that Ira Station would be found somewhere in Cayuga County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1872 and closed  in 1927.
