June 30, 2026
Civic ceremony recognizes one of the nation’s original 62 Post Offices serving continuously since 1775
As the nation prepares to celebrate its semiquincentennial, Georgetown Mayor Jay Doyle will present a formal mayoral proclamation to the Georgetown Post Office to honor its enduring legacy and vital role in the community for over two and a half centuries.
The civic ceremony will take place on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the historic Georgetown Post Office located at 1100 Charlotte Street.
The Georgetown Post Office holds the rare distinction of being one of America’s original 62 Post Offices. Established in 1775, it has remained open and continuously serving its citizens since a time that predates the official founding of the United States.
The upcoming program will feature remarks from local dignitaries, including Georgetown Mayor Jay Doyle and USPS South Carolina District Manager Paul Birge. The formal proclamation will be presented to Georgetown Postmaster Brad Stellmon in recognition of the postal team’s steadfast public service. Local community leaders and residents are invited to attend this historic milestone.
