List of post offices in Canada, with the names of the postmasters ... 1863

Step into Canada’s early communications network with this meticulously compiled 1863 directory of post offices and the men who ran them. The volume opens with a brief note explaining how printer’s errors were corrected while preserving the original spellings of places and people, then lists the senior postal officials before moving on to a comprehensive table of towns, counties, and the appointed postmasters who oversaw each station.

Beyond the names, the book offers a snapshot of mid‑nineteenth‑century settlement patterns, showing how the postal service stitched together far‑flung communities from Quebec to Ontario and the western territories. Listeners will hear a clear, organized roll‑call that reveals which locations were authorized to handle money orders and how the department kept its records up to date. It’s an engaging glimpse into the administrative backbone of a growing nation, perfect for history enthusiasts and anyone curious about the everyday infrastructure of the past.
