Do you know of Sydney ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1894 and closed  in 1904.
