New Melle is a tiny historic village in Saint Charles County, Missouri, about 40 miles west of St. Louis. Just 63 people live within the ZIP's boundaries, but the post office maintains 122 PO Boxes. That's nearly four boxes for every household. This ratio tells the story: New Melle serves as the mail hub for surrounding rural areas where carrier delivery doesn't reach.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative to picking up mail at the New Melle post office for residents in the service area. Two rural carrier routes handle outgoing deliveries, but for incoming mail, the PO Box counter is the only option. General Delivery is available for those without a permanent box.
Street names hint at German heritage. Schutzen Street and Almeling Street preserve the legacy of 19th-century German settlers who founded this community. Most of the village's 32 housing units were built before 1939, making New Melle one of the older settlements in what's now a fast-growing exurban corridor. Highway D runs through town with commercial activity along its route.
The village punches above its weight commercially. With 96 business delivery points and 32 establishments employing 367 workers, New Melle draws commuters and customers from across the area. The median age of 41.5 years and 74% homeownership rate (23 of 31 occupied units) suggest a stable, established community. It sits within the Wentzville municipal boundary, though mail must use the New Melle address.
Highway D serves as the commercial spine while street names like Schutzen and Almeling preserve German settler heritage.
