A relatively new red brick building, the Joliet Post Office serves a population of about 2,465, which includes the agricultural areas which surround Joliet. The town itself has a population of only about 650. With a full service lobby, the post office's long banks of mailboxes inside are good indicators of the size of the area served by this post office. This is actually a respectably sized post office for a town with a population well under 1,000.
The town of Joliet is the service centre for small agricultural areas which stretch along the bottoms of the Clark's Fork River and Rock Creek Valleys. Never previously reaching 600 in population, the town was established in the early 1890s, its first post office opening on June 10, 1893. It has slowly grown from a population of around 200 at the turn of the century to 650 or so at present. The two block long business section of Main Street has several empty storefronts and several small business serving up groceries, antiquities, hair cuts and other grooming services, beer, pizza, gas, legal advice and convenience foods. A brick making business once thrived in Joliet, providing the bricks for many of the commercial buildings in the town.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
