Nearby Communities in the 1890s

We largely built the following list with information that came from an Atlas published by Rand McNally in 1895. The Atlas had details such as the population of the community (which appears to have come from the 1890 Census) and whether there was a post office and/or railroad service available. Over time, we will continue to add communities that we find during our research.

If it applies, we indicate whether a community no longer exists and is now historic.<1>

While we didn't find Fair Acres Farm in the Atlas, the following communities of the 1890's would have been found near the current location of Fair Acres Farm. The following communities are listed based on their distance, with the one closest to Fair Acres Farm listed first.
