   Postal “zones” were implemented in 1943 for use in 178 cities because the Post Office Department was losing so much experienced staff to the armed services, and it needed a system to help the inexperienced mail sorters efficiently direct mail to the correct letter carriers. Thus an address in these cities would include the city name followed by the zone number. This system would later be replaced in the 1960s by the nationwide zip code system.
