The Smallest Post Office in the United States: Ochopee, Florida

The smallest Post Office is located in Ochopee, FL. The building used to be a storage shed (measuring a staggering 61 square feet!) for irrigation pipes of an adjacent tomato farm. It was converted into a Post Office in 1953, after a fire that destroyed a previous Post Office and general store.
The town, which sits on the edge of the Everglades, and which reportedly has a population of 10, has
been happy with it ever since. An insider from the post office says that she "has the coolest job in the world!" She has a phone, a computer, an air conditioner, a fluorescent tube for light, and a pair of tiny sliding screen doors to keep out the giant horseflies. The job is quiet, although she does get occasional visits from people from all over the world who stop by to get something postmarked (the zip code is 34141). There is a stack of Ochopee Post Office post cards on the counter, pre-stamped both domestic and international, for when the tour buses pull up;)
We got to the spot in the wee hours of the night and found the building crawling with lizards and tree frogs! Welcome to Ochopee!
