Best Answer: Their really isn't one correct answer to this question, I'll try to explain. Ill start with the home run that Mickey Mantle hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953. The entire baseball world was led to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed.
What year did zip codes start?   In the US 2 digit postal codes started in 1943 because many of the regulay postal clerks were away fighting WWII and the government the codes would help the inexperienceâ¦d new clerks in sorting the mail. 5 digit Zip codes went into effect on July 1, 1963.
The final two digits designated small Post Offices or postal zones in larger zoned cities. The ZIP Code began as scheduled. At first, use of the new code was not mandatory for anyone, but in 1967, the Department required mailers of second- and third-class bulk mail to presort by ZIP Code. The public and business mailers alike adapted well to its use. n.
