My question's are...

1) When did the United states mail service become the United States Postal Service?

2) When did they change from postal codes to area codes?
Hi Anthony!

You can check out the history of the USPS at:

In answer

1, the USPS started in 1971

2, postal codes became zip codes in 1963.
