Key Facts
  • This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning no alternative mail delivery exists in the service area
  • The post office maintains 103 PO Boxes serving rural communities in eastern Kentucky
  • Street names like Troublesome Creek, Honey Gap, and Buzzard Den Road reflect Appalachian topography
  • Only one rural carrier route provides limited street delivery, while most addresses require PO Box service
  • Zero population is recorded in the ZIP Code Tabulation Area because residents live scattered across terrain that doesn't match census boundaries

A PO Box Only Zone

Fisty serves a rural corner of eastern Kentucky's Knott County, where PO Boxes aren't just convenient but the only option. This is officially a PO Box Only Zone, meaning no street delivery exists anywhere in the service area. The 103 PO Boxes at this post office handle all mail for surrounding communities.

Appalachian Road Names

Street names tell the story of Appalachian topography and rural life. Roads like Troublesome Creek, Honey Gap, Sleepy Hollow, and Buzzard Den follow creeks and ridges through rugged terrain. Others, like Cockrells Trace and Old Post Office Road, preserve local family names and historical routes. The ZIP+4 data includes 34 distinct street names, yet nearly all addresses require PO Box delivery because the terrain and settlement patterns don't support carrier routes.

How Mail Works Here

Limited street delivery does exist for a handful of locations through one rural route, but it's the exception. Most residents travel to the Fisty post office to collect mail, packages, and government correspondence. In communities like this, the post office works as a gathering point where neighbors cross paths and news travels.

Geographic Context

The ZIP has been in service since before October 2004, when USPS began tracking introduction dates. It's enclosed within the larger ZIP 41701 (Hindman), which handles the broader Knott County area. With zero population recorded in the ZIP Code Tabulation Area, Census data doesn't capture the people who use this facility. They live scattered across hollows and hillsides where household locations don't align with census boundaries.
