Understanding United States ZIP Codes and USPS Routing
Introduced in 1963, the ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) code format fundamentally transformed mail sorting. The numbers are assigned geographically from East to West. For instance, codes starting with ‘0’ cover northeastern states like Massachusetts, while codes starting with ‘9’ represent western states like Washington and California.
For extreme precision, the USPS also introduced the ZIP+4 system, which adds a hyphen and four extra digits to pinpoint a specific delivery route, street block, or even a large corporate building.
