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.
For those areas where it is difficult to determine the prevailing five-digit ZIP Code, the higher-level three-digit ZIP Code is used for the ZCTA code. Based on the January 2000 list of ZIP Codes from the USPS's Delivery Type File, the ZCTA delineation process excluded 10,068 ZIP Codes in the United States and Puerto Rico (not counting overseas military ZIP Codes).
