Island Postal Gateway

"Koror Republic of Palau" and "Koror Caroline Islands" both appear as valid mailing names, acknowledging different periods of the territory's history and the various ways correspondents might address mail to this Pacific destination. The facility serves as the postal gateway to Palau, handling both local PO Box service and general delivery for the island nation.

Addressing in an Island Context

With just one street name in the ZIP+4 database ("PALAU"), this reflects the limited application of conventional U.S. street addressing in an island context where most mail flows through post office boxes. The single Highway Contract route designation indicates mail delivery extends beyond the central post office, likely serving government facilities or specific institutional locations. This isn't a limitation—it's simply how mail works in a Pacific island nation where geographic dispersion and cultural addressing traditions differ from mainland U.S. patterns.
