This article in three parts was researched and written by Len McMaster of Capon Bridge, West Virginia. Len has for many years been involved in stamp collecting and researching long-time post office history. The article was first published in LaPosta: A Journal of American Postal History(Vol. 41, Nos.1-3). We appreciate his giving us permission to publish this article on HistoricHampshire.org for the benefit of our viewers who probably do not get a chance to read specific interest periodicals. These articles are copyright by Len McMaster 2010 and may not be reproduced without the author's permission.
The three parts listed below are in .pdf format and are large files that may take time to download. Note that since Hampshire County was originally much larger and contained what are now other counties, Part Three covers post offices that are now in Mineral Co., W.Va.
