Talk:Jacktown, Michigan

Questionable citation
Citation points to a commercial website. Virtually all of the information on that webpage lacks citations that back statements made about the subject.

The author of the webpage states that Jacktown is incorrectly referred to as 'Osborn', despite the location having had a post office named 'Osborn', from the 1870s until it was closed in 1911.

There are no maps of that period that refer to this location as 'Jacktown'.

This Wikipedia page needs credible citation. Goggomobil (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
