Adding India to Our Gazetteer ...

We originally found mention of India in both the FIPS-55 and the GNIS. For more information, see the FIPS and GNIS Codes sections on our Miscellaneous Page.

From our notes, the earliest published mention we've found (so far) for India was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<4>

From that list, the India post office opened in 1881. The India post office closed in 1896.
