Post Office 71832 - DeQueen, AR - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The town of DeQueen was first settled because of the Kansas City Southern Railroad running its line through the area. The town became the County Seat in 1905 and currently has a population of about 6600. The town economy is greatly influenced by the poultry industry and Dierks Lumber Company.

A cute story was found on the Arkansas website: "The town was named in honor of DeGeoijen, but due to pronunciation difficulties among early residents it was altered to the English variation "De Queen." The change subsequently made possible one of Arkansas's, if not the nation's, most agreeably curious newspaper names. The De Queen Bee began publishing in 1897 and continues in operation."

The post office was constructed in 1940 with funding from the U.S. Treasury Department. It is located at 105 N. 4th Street. Counter hours at the post office are Mon-Fri: 8:30-4:30 and Sat from 9:00-11:00. The lobby and post office boxes are available 24/7.

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.
