Key Facts
  • With 65 PO Boxes serving a population of 3, Gaysville functions as a mailing hub for seasonal vacation properties rather than a residential community.
  • Only 1 of the 4 housing units is permanently occupied, with the remaining units serving as seasonal vacation homes.
  • The post office serves 3 named streets (Bridge Street, Garlearr Street, and Sweet Lane) through a combination of city and rural carrier routes.
  • The ZIP code covers 4.35 square miles of Windsor County, with delivery infrastructure designed for both concentrated village areas and dispersed rural properties.
  • No businesses are recorded in the ZIP code, reinforcing its character as a seasonal residential and vacation area.
  • The extreme ratio of PO Boxes to population reflects second-home ownership patterns common in Vermont's recreational river valleys.

The PO Box System

The post office maintains 65 PO Boxes for a population of 3, an arrangement that makes sense only when you understand the service area. Bridge Street, Garlearr Street, and Sweet Lane anchor the street delivery network, but the real demand comes from second-home owners who need year-round mailing addresses. These boxes don't serve full-time residents. They serve property owners who visit seasonally and need reliable mail service between trips.

Geographic Layout

Delivery here combines both city and rural carrier routes, covering roughly 4.35 square miles of Windsor County terrain. The median age of 4.8 years in Census data reflects an institutional anomaly rather than actual demographics. What's real is the infrastructure: 3 distinct streets with named delivery routes, 1 named building (Postmaster facility), and a rural carrier route extending beyond the immediate hamlet. The ZIP stretches along the river valley, where vacation properties cluster near the water and recreation areas.

Seasonal Character

This pattern is common in Vermont's river valleys, where historic villages become bases for seasonal tourism. The high ratio of PO Boxes to population doesn't indicate isolation or inadequate infrastructure. It indicates affluence and seasonal use. Property owners maintain boxes year-round to receive tax bills, utility statements, and property management correspondence while they're elsewhere. The carrier routes handle package deliveries and periodic mail, but the PO Box remains the stable address that doesn't change with the seasons.

Street Name Patterns

River Valley Names Rural Vermont Character

The street names reflect a small Vermont hamlet with traditional naming patterns. Bridge Street likely references a river crossing over the White River, while Sweet Lane suggests the rural, pastoral character of the area. Garlearr Street's unusual name may reflect local family history or land ownership patterns typical of Vermont's small communities.
