Do you know of West Constable ???

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

Our sources for West Constable (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 West Constable other than they indicate that West Constable would be found somewhere in Franklin County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1828 and closed  in 1906.
