Bracken County Post Office Locations
Over time, there have been 56 differently named post offices in Bracken County, listed below. Several are the same PO's, but with different spellings (Sante Fe vs. Santefe) or name changes (Woodward's Crossing to Brookville to Brooksville)
The peak in Bracken 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.
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 2018, Augusta, Brooksville, Germantown and partially, Foster are listed.
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 (Augusta, 1801) and now.
