Do you know of Trail ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1896 and closed  in 1902.
