About This Book

A detailed historical account documents the early establishment and development of postal service in Buffalo and nearby offices, noting the loss of early federal records by fires and the resulting gaps in information. It names early postmasters and traces the movement of office locations, describes the founding of branch offices at Black Rock and North Buffalo, and presents annual revenue figures and comparisons. The account explains how mail routes, transportation frequency, postage rates, and demographic change influenced postal receipts and administrative organization.
