Do you know of San Marino ???

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

Our sources for San Marino (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 San Marino other than they indicate that San Marino would be found somewhere in Dinwiddie County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1857 and closed  in 1900.
