I would bet most posters know there Zip Code. Before Mr. Zip was put into service on July 1, 1963 we had "Postal Zone" numbers or "Rural Route" numbers. |

Mc74: Need to know if you are before or after NE 42nd line. Or before or after 82nd line. Or Before or after 122nd line, to give you your Postal Zone. |

I grew up at Rt. 1 Box 264 in Gresham. Had that address into the early '70s. I remember for the longest time the power bill had our address simply as "Six power poles west of Cathy Rd." That was when we were still on the outskirts of town. My folks still live there, but today they are surrounded by subdivisions and McMansions on postage stamp lots. |

"Portland 10 Oregon" Thats funny, my wife remembered the change from 97210 to 97229, but we were both thinking numbers in the high 20's for the old zone number. Zone 10 and 97210 would make sense. |
