Ben Hur, Virginia operates as a PO Box ZIP code serving a small community in Lee County. The post office at this location maintains 74 PO Boxes, with street delivery handled through a single carrier route along Veterans Memorial Highway. This arrangement is typical of small rural post offices that serve as the mailing address for surrounding areas while actual mail delivery occurs through established carrier routes.
The ZIP code encompasses minimal geographic area and functions primarily as a postal identifier rather than representing a traditional town center. Three businesses use Ben Hur addresses, and the single named building in the postal system is simply designated for the postmaster. The area falls under the carrier route rate sortation category, meaning mail is sorted by carrier route rather than individual street address—a characteristic of rural postal operations where efficiency demands grouping deliveries by geographic routing rather than alphabetical street sorting.
The single street with postal records honors military veterans, reflecting rural Virginia's tradition of commemorative road naming. The highway designation indicates this location's position along a transportation corridor rather than within a traditional town grid.
ZIP Code 24218 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
