Do you know of Powl's Valley ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Powl's Valley. 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 Powl's Valley.<1>

Our sources for Powl's Valley (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 Powl's Valley other than they indicate that Powl's Valley would be found somewhere in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
