The town of Kingfisher was established on April 22, 1889 during the Land Run that opened up this part of Oklahoma. A portion of land was set aside for government operation, with the opening of the land run office which recorded the newly established land ownership. A post office operated out of a tent alongside this land office. After moving the post office to a small building across the street, and then back to the government land in the early 1900's, a post office building was built in 1913. That building housed the post office until 1976, when this building was constructed.

This is a one-story brick building with a wall of display windows flanking its entrance. The post office is open Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm, and on Saturday from 10:00am to 11:30am.

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.
