Do you know of Kipling ???

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

Our sources for Kipling (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 Kipling other than they indicate that Kipling would be found somewhere in Grayson County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1899 and closed  in 1908.
