Do you know of Oceanus ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1874 and closed  in 1902.
