Extract from the Foreword

The purpose of this book is to trace the history of the Newfoundland Post Office. The listing for each post office includes a general outline of the particular office in regards to location by bay and map reference, population, opening and closing, postmasters and general information, and illustrations of the various markings used. Various references will appear in the appendices regarding movement of the mail by the coastal boats and distribution by rail.

This entire undertaking is devoted to the post offices of towns and outports only. There will be NO St. John’s markings. A very brief outline of the Labrador offices is included.
