Do you know of Merion Station ???

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

Our sources for Merion Station (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 Merion Station other than they indicate that Merion Station would be found somewhere in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1880.
