Achilles, Beardsley, Midway and Salem are historic rural post-office communities that never incorporated and have little or no population left today; their locations are approximate and no current census figures exist for them. Two entries from an earlier version of this list — a duplicate “Ludell” and an unverifiable “North Atwood” and “Chardon” — are omitted here for lack of any independent confirmation.<\/p>\n
