Do you know of Oswego Falls ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1810 and closed  in 1903.
