Nevada Post Offices

Nevada Post Offices Overview

We used to have an impressive list of United States post office history but somehow it has disappeared from our digital storage. An internet search shows nothing similar (if you have this document, please share it with us so we can update our references.)

Some of these post offices didn’t last long due to them being attached to a mining town that folded and the residents moved on to another area. Learn more about Ghost Towns in Nevada and Ghost Towns in the Southwest.

If you are interested in the history of mail in the United States, check out our information on the Pony Express.
