How a village postmaster in Doylestown helped shape the USPS
"Meet Charles Stewart. He was the village postmaster when the first office opened on Jan. 1, 1802. It was just 27 years after the U.S. Post Office was born during the American Revolution. Charlie’s claim to fame is he started the first door-to-door postal delivery route in the United States. He would carry letters around the village and region, each tucked safely into his hat band for personal delivery."
