Mineral County Nevada Postmasters
Below are the US Appointments of US Postmasters from 1832 – 1971 for Mineral County, Nevada. We added the town after the date — think you are seeing a typo? Nope, that is how the records were recorded so we left them for your enjoyment. Click here to view the Nevada Post Offices.
From the National Archives:
The post office was so important that every crossroads community in America wanted one. When a small community’s post office closed in the early twentieth century, it was either the harbinger or the result of that village’s demise. Some postmasters served only a few months, while others served for decades. Most were men; some were women. It was a political appointment and a position of trust. The postmaster handled money; other federal agencies counted upon the postmaster for honest opinions.
Most of these towns are gone and considered ghost towns. Click here to view Ghost Towns in Mineral County.
