Do you know of Elyria ???

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

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