Located in Meeker County, Minnesota, Cosmos has a population of about 580.

Cosmos, Minnesota was incorporated on September 26, 1926. The first mayor was Arthur W. Johnson. Ernest Grussendorf, J.M. Lietzau and Albert Anderson were the promoters for incorporating the village.

The original townsite consisted of four blocks and undivided Out Lot C. The plat was filed January 31, 1923 and the survey was made by Sven A Vaule. The town was laid out by Harry Hart, August 29, 1923 and the engineer was T.S. Herverdine of Olivia.

When Cosmos was laid out, plans were made for the beautiful wide main street that Cosmos is known for.

The original townsite was increased by the following additions: Larson's First, Anderson's Addition, and rearrangements of Out Lot A, Lietzau's First, Lietzau's Summit, Nelson's First, and Nelson's subdivision of Section 21.

The community name derives from Greek for "orderly universe".

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.
