Do you know of Kreischerville ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1859 and closed  in 1917.
