Postal Services

This is a PO Box-only ZIP code, meaning the ZIP itself doesn't assign street addresses. Residents here receive mail through PO Boxes at the Lemasters post office or via rural carrier routes that fan out into the surrounding countryside. The post office also handles deliveries for six businesses in the area. The setup is typical for small Pennsylvania towns where a central post office serves a compact village and the farms and homes in the surrounding rural area.
