ONLY TOWN IN U.S. TO HAVE A YEAR-ROUND USPS WATER DELIVERY SERVICE

Magnolia Springs, Alabama is the only town in the United States to have a year-round U.S. Postal Service water delivery route. The 31-mile route started in 1915 and now services about 180 homes. Mailboxes are located on the docks, and the delivery person drives a 15-foot Alumacraft boat that rarely comes to a complete stop.
