Key Facts

  • This is a PO Box-only ZIP code with no alternative delivery options available within the zone itself.
  • The entire ZIP code is enclosed within neighboring 22960, making this a specialized postal facility rather than an independent community.
  • Only one street receives delivery: Constitution Highway, which serves as the main corridor through the service area.
  • With just 5 residents and 8 businesses, the facility exists primarily to serve customers from surrounding areas.
  • The POSTMASTER building is the only named structure in the ZIP4 records, confirming the postal facility's central role.

The Highway Corridor Service Model

The post office sits along Constitution Highway, the only street delivery route in the ZIP code. This highway corridor connects the facility to a broader service area across Orange County's rural landscape. The 22960 ZIP code entirely encloses 22957, meaning this isn't an independent community but rather a specialized postal node within a larger territory.

Demographic Reality

With a population of only 5 people and a median age of 24.8, the demographic profile reflects a handful of residents rather than a settled community. The single-family dwelling (SFDU) count of 1 confirms this isn't a residential area in the traditional sense. Instead, the facility operates primarily to serve the 8 businesses and various rural addresses that use it as their mailing point.

Historical Context

The name "Montpelier Station" references the area's connection to Montpelier, the historic estate of President James Madison. The post office serves as a geographic marker and mail hub for this historically significant region of central Virginia, positioned between Charlottesville (10 miles away) and other Orange County communities.
