I don't think this place passes WP:GEOLAND. GNIS sources it to a rural schools map (Since school != actual community in the time this was active in rural America, it seems a little odd to source it to a school directory) and gives it a census code of U6, which means it is not an officially incorporated place, meaning it likely fails WP:GEOLAND. Does not appear on pre-GNIS small-scale topos. The State Historical Society calls it a post office. A search for coverage only brings up a bunch of WP:SPS family histories and mentions that someone "from" Almon died. Does not seem to meet WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG.

- Keep. Revised article to include year of first settlement. Nominator is dead wrong to imply a community must be "incorporated" (
Municipality) in order to be notable on Wikipedia. Unincorporated communities are an integral part of most all US county templates.
