U. S. HIGHWAY 50 THROUGH CALIFORNIA POSTAL HISTORY


Here are postal cancellations from post offices along U. S. Highway 50 in California. U. S. Route 50 has received several nicknames including "The Backbone of America" and "The Loneliest Road in America". U. S. Highway 50 was one of the original U. S. numbered highways established in 1926. Historically, its longest alignment stretched from Ocean City, MD, to San Francisco, CA. However, in 1964 the segment south and west of Sacramento, CA, to San Francisco, was decommissioned. That original alignment is now called Historic U. S. Highway 50. Today the highway extends west from Ocean City, MD, to West Sacramento, CA.

The postmarks in this exhibit are on postally used envelopes and postcards and date from 1926, the year U. S. Highway 50 was established, to the present. They are listed in travel order along historic U. S. Highway 50 in California from Stateline at the Nevada border to San Francisco.

This is a work in progress. I am continually searching for additional postmarks to add to this exhibit to show more variety and add additional post offices.

Abbreviations

CPO - Community Post Office, a contract postal unit usually in a business in a small community with no other postal services.
CPU - Contract Postal Unit, a station or branch associated with and operated by a business under contract to the Postal Service.
DPO - discontinued post office.
OPN - old post office name, replaced by a new or revised name.
