[Answer] When were ZIP codes officially implemented by the U.S. Post Office?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "When were ZIP codes officially implemented by the U.S. Post Office?"



...The concept of ZIP codes was first introduced during World War II. The U.S. Postal Service lost a large portion of its staff to the military buildup of World War II. The post office needed a way for its understaffed postal delivery service to work effectively. ZIP codes, or Zoning Improvement Plan, were officially implemented in 1963. The initial ZIP codes consisted of only two numbers. The first indicated the city and the second denoted the state. As delivery expanded across the nation, so did the concept of ZIP codes. By 1963, a ZIP code carried numerous bits of information: the area, the regional postal facility and the local zone. Source: WomansDay.com

...1. Buckingham Palace 2. Newgate 3. Tower of London 4. Fleet Prison Officially called Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, the Tower of London had many original purposes, as an armory, a residence, and a treasury. Generally the prisoners kept here were accused of treason, whether by trying to kill the monarch, helping rebels or foreign enemies, or merely speaking out against the monarch. It is no longer a prison but a tourist attraction, where visitors may view a display of medieval implements of torture and the Crown Jewels. Did Richard Plantagenet have his brother, the Duke of Clarence, and his nephews, Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury Duke of York murdered? The Tudor historians and Shakespeare believed so, and so has been the dominant opinion, but the Richard III Society in England has set out to rehabilitate King Richard as a misunderstood and maligned figure.
