Do you know of Elvilla ???

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

Our sources for Elvilla (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 Elvilla other than they indicate that Elvilla would be found somewhere in Washington County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1888 and closed  in 1900.
