Seiling post office is a one-story tan brick building with a gable roof. It serves this town of 860 residents. The counter is open Mon-Fri from 8:30-12:15; 1:30-4:15; and on Sat from 10:00-11:00am.

The town of Seiling (formerly called Hobson) was opened for settlement after the Land run of 1892 which opened the Cheyenne and Arapaho lands for settlement. A post office was first opened in 1894 in the store owned by Mr. Seiling. The town was incorporated in 1909 and had a population then of 352. The town has always been an agricultural town, and was on the Western Trail which saw thousands of cattle moved from Texas to the Kansas stockyards. Over the years, the town has grown industrially with block plants, and oilfield related businesses. We noticed a great many heavy trucks on the roads in town during our visit.

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.
