Did the World Trade Center in New York City really have its own zipcode?

Answer 1

...Some 50,000 people worked in the buildings, while another 200,000 visited or passed through each day. The complex had its own zip code, 10048...

Answer 2

This is not an uncommon practice throughout the worlds different postal services. I live in Manchester, UK, where the postal codes (zips in the US) all begin M and then a number between 1 & 33. M1 & M2 are the City Centre, and the rest spread out in circles from the centre, With M33 being in the outer suburbs. However, we also have the code M60, which means a substantial postal user somewhere in Manchester, but does not actually identify the area it is in. The 2nd half of the postcode is 1 digit followed by 2 letters, and this narrows down the location to a particular side of a street, and these are used with the M60 code to identify exactly which large postal user it is. This will have been the same principle for the World Trade Centre, due to the large amount of post both ging into, and out of the buildings. I should not at all be surprised if each tower, in fact, did not have a zip code.

Answer 3

It sure could have. I know for a fact that the population of just one of the buildings was much greater than the population of my entire zip code (Pingree, Idaho).

Answer 4

yeah.

Answer 5

well it's likely.
