Do you know of Scotia ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Scotia. 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 Scotia. We found mention of Scotia as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer. From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1860 and closed in 1866. This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others. Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices. Communities Also Named Scotia ...We found twelve communities that share the name Scotia. Within Wisconsin, the name Scotia is unique. Beyond Wisconsin, we know of another twelve communities that are located throughout in the United States and Canada. Of these twelve communities, eleven are located in the United States and one is in Canada.
Miscellaneous References and Mentions for Scotia ...We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Scotia: Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<2> List of Post Offices in the United States (1870)
