ZIP code 66505 is a PO Box facility in downtown Manhattan, Kansas, serving 271 PO Boxes alongside businesses rather than residential households. Unlike the primary Manhattan ZIP (66502) which handles street delivery throughout the city, 66505 exists specifically for post office box rentals and serves as a mail hub for businesses operating in the downtown core.
The facility is located on Leavenworth Street in the heart of Manhattan's downtown district. The ZIP maintains 308 business accounts and processes mail through 86 street records and 54 PO Box records in its ZIP+4 system. Residents receiving mail at 66505 addresses typically live in the surrounding Manhattan area where street delivery is available through neighboring ZIP codes, but they maintain downtown PO Boxes for business purposes, mail security, or convenience. This arrangement is common in county seats and college towns where a dedicated PO Box ZIP serves commercial and institutional needs separate from residential delivery zones.
The single street entry for Leavenworth Street reflects the post office's physical location in downtown Manhattan rather than a delivery route network. This is typical for dedicated PO Box facilities where the street address serves as the facility identifier rather than a service boundary.
