The town of Seminole was first platted in 1906. The discovery of oil in 1926 made Seminole a boom town, and the population jumped from about 850 to 20-30,000 almost overnight. This lasted until the 1930's when the boom ended. Today the Seminole post office serves a population of approximately 7500.

The post office, located at 120 E. Oak Avenue, is a building constructed in 1937 and funded by the U.S. Treasury Department. Its counter hours are Mon-Fri: 8:30-4:30 and on Sat. from 9:00-12:00. The P.O. boxes and lobby are open 24/7.

In the lobby is a mural called "Seminole Indian Village Scene" which was painted in 1939 by Acee Blue Eagle as part of a government program.

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.
