Postal Infrastructure

This is one of Connecticut's smallest postal footprints, operating as a named community within the larger postal infrastructure of neighboring ZIP 06468. The single street recorded in the ZIP+4 database doesn't mean residents live on just one road. It means carrier delivery is limited, and most customers rely on PO Boxes for consistent mail receipt. That's typical for riverside hamlets where development is constrained by topography and flood zones, making traditional street delivery impractical.
