Evolution of the Postal Service and Courier

The postal service has made the exchange of letters possible for years. It has

helped people communicate around the world.

The history of postal service goes back to the invention of writing and the need

for communication. Some evidence shows that an organized postal service

existed in Egypt with papyrus from 255 B.C. It seems that pharaohs had used

some kind of courier system to send a decree throughout the empire by 2400

B.C. Some ancient cultures such as Persia, China, India, and Rome had

created postal systems before we thought.

The letters we know are sent in an envelope, but at the beginning there were

no envelopes at all to protect the letters. Paper envelopes were first invented

in China, but before then Babylonians had already invented something to

protect messages: hollow, clay spheres.

Stamps have been an important part of the postal service; they were created in

1837 by an English man named Rowland Hill. They established the first

systematic prices based on weight. Now we continue to use the system, but the

prices have definitely increased!
