Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania - 16066
All information execerpted from the Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania Wikipedia page
Cranberry Township was founded in 1804. It is not to be confused with Cranberry Township in Venango County, formerly Fairfield Township (founded 1806), which is located only 60 miles (97 km) away.
Interstate 79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike via Interstate 76 run through Cranberry Township. US Route 19 and Pennsylvania Route 228 are also important main roads in the municipality. These four roads are connected by a newly-completed interchange: the $44.3 million, joint PennDOT/Pennsylvania Turnpike venture, named the "Cranberry Connector Project," was local nuisance for several years, but after opening in early 2004 has effectively provided direct, non-stop connection between the heavily-traveled roads.
Additionally, the northern terminus of Interstate 279, an important artery that serves as the parkway north of Pittsburgh, is located a few miles south of the township.
Cranberry Township is one of the fastest-growing areas in the United States in both population and business. While many residential communities are being built, even more so are retail stores.
CREATION OF THE CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP ZIP CODE
In years past, Cranberry Township had no post office of its own, so residents and businesses located there shared ZIP codes with many surrounding cities and towns (such as nearby Mars and Evans City). Subsequently, their mailing addresses were quite confusing, with many people proclaiming the need for their own ZIP code. Cranberry Township finally secured its own post office in 1994 after demand on the other post offices serving the region became exceedingly heavy.

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.
