History
of the US Postal Service 1775-1993
When the
Continental Congress named Benjamin Franklin the first Postmaster
General in 1775, the United States was a weak confederation of colonies
scattered along the eastern seaboard. The postal system that the
Congress created helped bind the new nation together, support the
growth of commerce, and ensure a free flow of ideas and information.
This is the story of the evolution of the Postal Service and the
role it has played in the development of the United States.
