"York, Pennsylvania, was settled by the English in 1741. During the Revolutionary War, it served as the temporary capital of the Continental Congress, and the Articles of Confederation were drafted there, so York likes to think of itself as the first Capital of the United States. The city has been called an architectural museum because the downtown features so many well-preserved historic structures. Among them is a grand post office built in 1912. As In York reports, most of the administrative and mail handling jobs were moved to other locations about 20 years ago, and three years ago, carriers were sent to work out of an annex in West York. All that’s left is a 10-employee retail operation, which requires only about 5,000 square feet, Postmaster Mike Becker said.
