ZIP Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2683 words) |
 | ZIP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city), and the fourth and fifth digits representing more specific areas, such as small towns or regions of that city. |
 | For example, ZIP codes beginning with 0 and 1 are in use in New York; beginning with 2 and 5, in the District of Columbia; and beginning with 7 and 8, in Texas. |
 | For example, ZIP code 03750 is for Etna, NH, but Etna is not a municipality, it is actually a village district in the town of Hanover, New Hampshire (Zip Code 03755). |

 | Lists on either project should reflect the kinds of things that are normally in that project. |
 | While I could argue that postal codes better belong here, in sources, than in wikipedia, I do also understand why they are in wikipedia now. |
 | While the postal codes would indeed be better classified as reference than as "sources", I would disagree that the page should merely link to the institutions. |
