Ochopee, Florida - Nation's Smallest Post Office

I wanted to share a photo I took of the nations smallest post office since I did not see a photo of this on your site.

Tip: Do not go at lunch time. It is closed for lunch. My guess is the need for a bathroom break? [Janet Riecken, 05/27/2008]

Ochopee, Florida - Nation's smallest post office

The Ochopee post office is considered to be the smallest post office in the United States. The building was formerly an irrigation pipe shed that belonged to the J.T. Guant Company tomato farm. However, in 1953 it was rather quickly turned into the Ochopee's general store and post office by postmaster Sidney Brown after the original Ochopee post office burned down in the middle of the night. The present building has been in use ever since as both a post office and ticket station for Trailways bus line. It still services the residents in it's surrounding three county area as well as making regular deliveries to the Seminole and Miccosukee Native Americans who reside in the area.

Ochopee, Florida - Smallest Post Office

The Ochopee P.O. is billed as the nation's smallest freestanding regular post office....a one floor frame "building" c. 8' x 8'... barely enough room for the STAMPS. The postmistress is very friendly and accommodating; she has picture post cards of her office for sale; have her autograph one and mail it from Ochopee. [James Alain, 02/10/2002]
