This is a difficult one to deal with on the maps, because it's right in the corner of a topo. I could not find the label until it was entered into GNIS from "U.S. Bureau of Soils. Soil Map, Barbour County, Alabama. Washington: U.S. Govt. Print. Off., 1914", which as we all know is not a good sign. The key to the affair lies on that "Swift Church Road", because Swift Presbyterian Church is still there, and they explain how the chapel was built because there wasn't anything else nearby, built on land donated by Mr. Swift, who owned a logging concern in the area. One presumes the post office got its name in the same manner. Anyway, not a settlement, from what I can see. Mangoe ( talk) 15:00, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
"Charles A. Swift had a long career as a leading businessman of Baldwin County and has justly earned a reputation for probity and honor in all business relations and was a fine type of Christian gentleman." says another highly partisan book, in quotation marks because it is apparently quoting someone's diary entry. Well none of it got written into the history books that I can see, and now M. Swift is just a namedrop.
Charles A. Swift ran a post office in Baldwin, but its name was Bon Secour according to the directories. Where did you get the name Swift relating to post offices from?
