Old / Disused Village Names

copyrighted Philip M. Goldstein © 2018

It has come to my attention, that some of the old names for villages along railroad rights of way have become lost over time.
Therefore, I am compiling a list of names I have come across on maps that are no longer used, with a relative present day location.
