Shawnee on Delaware sits along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. This small community has just 179 year-round residents, yet the post office maintains 235 PO Boxes. That's 2.8 boxes for every local household. The high adoption rate doesn't mean locals are hoarding mailboxes. It means the Shawnee post office serves a much larger seasonal and recreational population.
About 24% of housing units here are used for seasonal or recreational purposes. The area's 15 business establishments employ 821 workers, far exceeding the local residential population. These numbers point to a resort economy where vacation rentals, ski operations, and river recreation drive mail demand well beyond what the permanent population would suggest.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery in the area. Street names like Fort Depuy Lane and Shawnee Square Drive reflect both the area's colonial history and its modern development as a resort community. Shawnee Square Drive accounts for most of the street delivery records, with 33 ZIP+4 entries featuring unit designators.
Mail can be addressed to "Shawnee on Delaware," the abbreviated "Shawnee on De," or simply "Shawnee." All three are valid mailing names for ZIP 18356. With its PO Box Only designation and resort character, the Shawnee post office functions as a regional hub for the surrounding Pocono recreation area.
Street names reflect resort development (Shawnee Square, Sky View) and colonial-era history (Fort Depuy).
