Since the birth of the United States, the post office has existed in some form or fashion. In many ways, the development of the post office paralleled the country’s growth and development, and is still a hot-button topic even to this day.

Now, according to recent data, the United States Postal Service sends over one hundred billion pieces of mail annually, which is a reminder that it still plays an important role, even in a digital age.
