This post office serves a community of 715 in Vici, located 21 miles south of Woodward on Highway 34. An original town, now known as Old Vici, began just south of the current town. A post office was established there in February 1900. This town was completely wiped out by a tornado in 1908. The people lived in a cave and rebuilt the town. When the railroad came through this area, residents moved the buildings closer to the railroad and established "new" Vici. The town was platted in 1911.
Vici grew during the 1920s to 1940s as an agricultural shipping center, but the population declined following World War II. It has stabilized at its current size.
The post office building is a tan brick building with a gable roof located at 706 N. Main Street. Its counter is open Mon-Fri from 9:00-12:00; 1:00-4:00. It is closed Saturday and Sunday. The lobby and post office boxes are open and 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.
