Community Overview

Wynnburg sits in Lake County, Tennessee, near the Mississippi River in the state's far northwestern corner. With just 33 residents in 9 households, it's one of Tennessee's smallest communities. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative mail delivery. Every household relies on a box at the tiny Wynnburg post office.

Postal Services

The post office maintains only 4 PO Boxes for this community. All 9 occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the median age of 42.8 suggests a middle-aged, settled population. General Delivery is also available for those without a permanent box.

Local Character

With 11 vacant housing units (55% vacancy), 5 of which are seasonal or recreational, Wynnburg sees some part-time residents who likely own nearby hunting or fishing land. ZIP 38077 doesn't have its own geographic boundary. It exists as a point location enclosed within neighboring ZIP 38080 (Tiptonville).

Regional Context

Lake County is one of Tennessee's poorest and least populated counties. It borders Reelfoot Lake, a natural lake created by the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812. The remote location and sparse population explain why traditional street delivery was never established here.
