George Washington and the Postal Service Act
On February 20, 1792, the President signed into law the Postal Service Act, which created the United States Post Office Department. But the Postal Service Act wasn’t the creation of a new agency as much as it was the “officialization” of an existing one, so let’s step back to just before the Revolution got started…to 1775.
