Postal services began in the 17th century in the American colonies, with informal routes in Boston. Official mail service started in 1692 with a royal patent. Figures like Benjamin Franklin shaped the system, creating a foundation still used by the USPS today.

Postal services in the American colonies began in the 17th century, with informal routes emerging around 1639. Official mail service was sanctioned in 1692 when King William III granted a nobleman a delivery patent, establishing postal taxes. This system faced resistance, influencing the American Revolution. By the mid-18th century, figures like Benjamin Franklin and William Goddard developed a more trusted postal system that served as an alternative to the Crown Post. Their innovations laid the foundation for the U.S. Postal Service, which continues to operate based on many of those original designs.
