The Danville Post Office was built in 2005 replacing the former post office across the road. Danville has a current population of 45 in 2016 an increase of 73% from 2014.

We talked with one of the employees of the Danville Post Office and she was very friendly and helpful. She was very proud of her post office and everyone tries to keep the building well maintained. It is a grey sided building and one of the larger post offices in the area which is surprising for such a small community.

Danville is the border crossing for the United States and Canada to the north.

“In 1897 the town was designated the first post office on the Colville Reservation, with Peter Nelson as postmaster, and was platted in 1902. In order to avoid confusion with Nelson, British Columbia, its name was changed to Danville, after Spokane pioneer Daniel Drumheller (1840-1925), a prosperous cattle dealer who ran large herds to supply meat to the miners.”

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.
