Norvell is a tiny crossroads community in Jackson County, Michigan. With only 72 residents and 29 occupied homes, it's one of the smallest places in the state to maintain its own post office. The village covers just 0.04 square miles.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. That means there's no street delivery available here or anywhere nearby. All 72 residents must pick up their mail from a PO Box at the local post office. With 36 PO Boxes serving 29 households, the post office handles mail for some people living outside the ZCTA boundary too.
Street names tell Norvell's story as a 19th-century railroad hamlet. Commercial Street runs through town (both east and west sections), and names like Railroad, Depot Court, and Mill point to the community's origins as a stop along the rail line. The median age is 48.3 years, and most residents (86%) own their homes.
Despite having a PO Box classification, Norvell does have carrier routes. One city route and one rural route handle deliveries, but these likely serve surrounding areas rather than the village itself. The nearest named neighborhoods are in Ann Arbor, nearly 18 miles away.
Street names preserve Norvell's railroad town heritage: Commercial Street serves as main street, while Railroad and Depot Court mark the former rail stop.
