Abandoned towns, Villages and Post Offices of Davis County
| Salt Creek- A post office in Salt Creek Township, perhaps first located in section 10 and later in Paul Shepperd's store in section 17, about 3 and a half miles east of Floris. It ran from 1851 to 1863, and its discontinuance was likely because of Sheperd's disloyalty during the civil war. | Soap Creek- A post office in Marion Township from 1851 to 1857. It seems to have been the predecessor of Albany post office, as it ceased to exist when Albany began and is shown on the maps to have been close by. | |
| Soap Creek Mills- A hamlet of some size and importance in a very early day in the northwest corner of section 3, Salt Creek Township, on Soap Creek. | Springville- A Village in section 34, Wyaconda Township, about one and one fourth mile north of Savannah. It was platted in 1859 and was prosperous for a few years. | Stringtown- A village about one mile south of the village of Troy. the post office at this place was called Fox from 1842 to 1853. It was platted as Dover in 1848, but was called Harpersville sometimes and later Stringtown, and had a post office by the latter name from 1853 to 1867. |
