Wellington, KS 67152 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The Wellington post office is located at 221 W. Harvey Avenue. This is a large one-story brick building with a flat roof. The entrance is recessed with a double glass door, transom and sidelight. At the curb, a row of mature trees shades the entrance.

Wellington is located at the crossroads of Highways 160 and 81, and is a railroad hub for trains going east-west and north-south. The town was platted in 1871, and is the county seat of Sumner County. Its location near Wichita and its Air Base has led to the development of aircraft parts manufacturing with several factories in town. With a population of 12,000 in 1892, Wellington was heavily damaged by a tornado, which damaged a 26-block area. An extensive fire later on, caused a stop in the continuing development of this town. It is a picturesque city to walk through today.

The post office counter is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 4:30 and is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The lobby and post office boxes are available 24/7.
