List of post offices in Canada, with the names of the postmasters ... 1873

Step back into July 1873 and listen to a meticulous snapshot of Canada’s fledgling communications network. This publication gathers every post office from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific frontier, arranging them by province, electoral district, and township, and pairing each location with the name of the postmaster who ran it. Alongside the directory you’ll hear brief memoranda from the Postmaster General, a roster of senior officials, and notes on offices that have closed or been renamed in the past year.

The collection also includes practical details that shaped daily life: tables of domestic postage rates, foreign rates, and the rules governing money‑order and savings‑bank offices. While the transcription corrects obvious printing slips, it preserves the original spellings and local nuances, offering a rare auditory glimpse into the administrative fabric of a young Dominion. Listeners gain both a geographical tour of 19th‑century communities and a sense of the people who kept the nation’s letters moving.
