Zenda, KS 67159 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The U.S. Post Office for Zenda is housed in a small building on the east side of Main Street. There is parking all along the street in front of the Post Office.

When you see the name of this town do you immediately think of an old movie? There's a reason for that. First called Rochester, the town was founded along a railroad line here on September 6, 1887. However, the Post Office noted that there were already twenty-eight places named Rochester in the United States and requested an alternative. The wife of a railroad employee had just read the 1894 novel The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope (which has subsequently been made into movies seven times!) and in 1899 Zenda became the official name of the town. The population of this rural town is about a hundred, and the primary industries are farming and ranching. Although small, the town has an active historical society and a musuem, which produced a book about the town in 1897.

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.
