The Wewoka Post Office is located at 115 W. 2nd Street. This one-story red brick building was constructed in 1935 under a Treasury Department program. It contains one of the beautiful WPA murals in the lobby. A post office was first established in Wewoka on May 13, 1867.

Wewoka has a long and interesting history. First settled in 1849, Wewoka was officially founded in 1866, and platted in 1897. It is currently the County Seat of Seminole County, and the tribal capital of the Seminole Nation. In 1923, oil was discovered nearby and during the years 1925-1927, Wewoka's population rose from 1500 to 20,000. Today, the town has approximately 3450 residents.

The post office counter is open Mon-Fri: 8:00-4:30 and Sat: 8:00-10:00. Lobby hours for P.O. boxes are Mon-Sat: 24 hours. The building is closed on Sundays.

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.
