Red Ash is a small community in Tazewell County, Virginia, positioned along Governor George C Perry Highway in the heart of Appalachian coal country. ZIP code 24640 is classified as a PO Box ZIP, but it's essentially a point location contained within the larger 24639 postal zone. There's no active post office facility here, and the single residential delivery point receives street delivery through a city carrier route from the neighboring ZIP.
This minimal postal footprint reflects a common pattern in southwest Virginia's coalfield communities. Many small settlements that once had their own post offices have been absorbed into larger service areas as populations declined. Red Ash isn't a PO Box Only Zone, meaning residents have street delivery options available. The ZIP persists in the USPS system as a legacy designation, even though mail service is effectively handled by the surrounding postal infrastructure.
Named for Virginia Governor George C. Perry, this highway is the sole street address within the ZIP.
ZIP Code 24640 is designated for PO Box delivery only; business establishment and employment data are not available.
