Postal mail, ZIP Codes, and neighborhoods

Unlike neighborhoods in the other four boroughs, some

neighborhood names are used as the town name in postal addresses. For example, whereas the ''town, state'' construction for all addresses in Manhattan is ''New York, New York'' (except in Marble Hill, where ''Bronx, New York'' is used), and all neighborhoods in Brooklyn use ''Brooklyn, New York'', residents of College Point would use the construction ''College Point, New York'' or ''Flushing, New York'' instead of ''Queens, New York''. From the time of the inception of the ZIP Code system until 1998, the postal zones of Queens and western Nassau County—whose secession from Queens County in 1899 did not affect postal routes—were organized based on which main post office routed the neighborhood's postal mail. The name of the main post office was the default name of the corresponding ZIP Code. For example,

postal mail was routed through the main post office in Flushing, and Fresh Meadows' ZIP Codes 11365 and 11366 were both labeled as "Flushing". At the urging of the citizens of Queens and with the support of Congressman

Gary Ackerman Gary Leonard Ackerman (born November 19, 1942) is an American retired politician and former U.S. Representative from New York, serving from 1983 to 2013. He is a member of the Democratic Party. On March 15, 2012, Ackerman announced that he wou ...
