Postal Facilities Dedicated by Congress in Honor of Individuals (as of September 1, 2021) In 1967, Congress passed the first law dedicating a postal facility in honor of an individual. Names of the honorees are listed below along with a brief description of why they were honored; the state, city, street address, and ZIP Code of the building dedicated to each honoree; the congressional district; the date the law was enacted; and the name of the bill, with its public law number. A dedicatory plaque is displayed in a prominent, secure area in the Post Office lobby.
