In the early 1960s the USPS was receiving and delivering 80 billion pieces of mail a year. And in 1963, they introduced the ZIP Code… in a 15-minute musical. Prior to the implementation of the ZIP code system, the United States Postal Service (USPS) relied on a more rudimentary system of zone numbers for large cities, which divided areas into business and residential.
