A post office was established here on January 29, 1902. The town was named Manitou, which is an Algonquin word for "god" or "spirit."

The coordinates might be slightly off, but the post office will be easy to spot in this small, one-highway town. We've noticed a similarity in many post office buildings and figure there must be a book of suggested post office floor plans, and towns choose what they can afford to build. The Manitou post office is a gray metal prefabricated building that we often see in small-town Oklahoma.

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.
