Island Mail Service

Pohnpei sits in the Caroline Islands, part of the Federated States of Micronesia. The island's remote Pacific location shapes every aspect of mail delivery. With no street addresses in the traditional sense, the post office in Kolonia Town handles 173 PO Boxes for this tropical island community.

Centralized Delivery System

The ZIP code serves an island where street delivery isn't practical or necessary. Most residents and businesses maintain PO Boxes at the Kolonia Town facility, the central mail hub for Pohnpei. The postal system recorded just one named street (Kolonia Town) and one named building (Postmaster) in its delivery records, though the island obviously has roads and structures beyond official postal designations.

Pacific Island Logistics

This is a highway contract route territory, where mail carriers use vehicles to service the post office facility rather than individual addresses. The island's geography and development patterns make centralized PO Box service the logical choice. Residents come to town for mail pickup as part of their regular routines, similar to other Pacific island communities where the post office serves as a natural gathering point.

Street Name Patterns

Minimal Street Infrastructure Town Center Focus Island Community

The single street record for Kolonia Town reflects the island's centralized postal structure rather than a lack of roads. Pacific island communities often don't use formal street addresses in the way mainland areas do, making the post office facility itself the primary geographic reference point for mail service.
