Do you know of Waneka ???

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

Our sources for Waneka (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 Waneka other than they indicate that Waneka would be found somewhere in Dunn County, Wisconsin.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1856 and closed  in 1900.
