Boone County Post Office Locations

Over time, there have been 56 differently named post offices in Boone County, listed below. 

The peak in Boone County was in 1907, when there were 27 active post offices.  But better roads, the automobile, and rural free delivery came together to eliminate lot of them.  1907 to 1920 saw a lot of consolidation but not near as drastically in Boone as in other counties. 

The USPS has a web site here, that lists every postmaster in the history of some, current post offices.  As of this writing in fall of 2005, Verona, Union, Florence and Burlington are listed, Walton, Petersburg, and Hebron are not.

Here is a chart that will give you a vague idea of how many post offices were open in any given year between the first (Boone Court House, 1807) and now.
 
There’s a similar chart that covers all eleven counties of Northern Kentucky Views, here.
