The original town of McLoud was founded in 1895 one mile north on the N. Canadian River. It was destroyed shortly after and rebuilt at its present location. The town is named for John W. McLoud, an attorney for the railroad. Located in northwestern Pottawatomie County, it was originally an agriculture community, but during this century has become a bedroom community for the nearby towns.

The post office is a one-story light-colored brick building with a flat roof and large window units along the front. The entrance is recessed in a projected bay. The counter is open Mon-Fri from 8:30-4:30 and on Sat from 8:30-10:30, and closed on Sunday. The lobby is open 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.
