Mound Valley, KS 67354 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

This small red-brick Post Office serves Mound Valley (population 340). It is in a small line of buildings on the west side of the main street that also includes the City Hall, Library, and Fire Station.

Mound Valley was established in 1869 and was named for the mound-like hills in the area. The town gained its first Post Office in May 1879 and was formally incorporated the next year. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad (the "Katy") stopped here from 1886 into the 1970s. George Pepperdine, founder of Pepperdine University in California, is from Mound Valley. The town is (slightly) famous for the Mound Valley Flagpole, which is set at the very center of the town's major intersection and is the focus of an annual festival.

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.
