Do you know of Calico ???

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

Our sources for Calico (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 Calico other than they indicate that Calico would be found somewhere in Logan County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1905 and closed  in 1911.
