Do you know of Cedar Rapids ???

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

Our sources for Cedar Rapids (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 Cedar Rapids other than they indicate that Cedar Rapids would be found somewhere in Waupaca County, Wisconsin.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1892.
