Do you know of Bolt ???

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

Our sources for Bolt (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 Bolt other than they indicate that Bolt would be found somewhere in Jackson County, Oregon.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1885 and closed in 1896.
