This rural area in Tonopah, Nev., has the largest ZIP code in the lower 48 states. At 10,000 square miles, it's a little larger than the state of Maryland. The area experienced a boom in the early part of the 20th century after silver was discovered there. It sits about halfway between Las Vegas and Reno, Nev.

The other 8 https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/07/01/197623129/the-zip-code-turns-50-today-here-are-9-that-stand-out Also includes other links

USPS should sell VANITY zip codes with yearly fees to maintain, the USPS could spend the money on new employees. :o

    Our mail lady has our zip code for her license number.
    When I use my debit card at the gas pumps, I don?t have to enter a PIN, but it asks for my zip code.
    What?s up with that?

    I picked up the mail for our American Legion post last week.

    As always, I go through the envelopes before I leave the Post Office. I don't throw the trash away there because I don't want to remind the carriers they spend a whole bunch of energy carrying trash. :lol:

    Anyway, I had to take one letter back to the counter. I mentioned to her the address was correct, but the city was wrong.

    Zip Codes - what does the Post Office use them for? Yes, the envelope had a Zip Code on it. It wasn't even close to the right one. :roll:
