Defunct Post Offices
"RECORDS OF THE APPOINTMENT OF POSTMASTERS from 1832 TO SEPTEMBER 30 1971", at the National Archives records the establishment and discontinuance dates of post offices as well as
Post Office name changes, the names and the appointment dates of postmasters, and beginning in 1870, the names of post offices to which mail from discontinued offices was sent. Until
1844, the names of sureties for postmasters, the dates and amounts of their bonds are also given and occasionally, the dates on which the locations of offices were changed.
The records show the dates of presidential appointments of postmasters, the dates of their Senate confirmation, and usually show the dates that post offices were authorized to issue money orders.
