The Hamilton post office dates back to 1804 when President Thomas Jefferson appointed John Reily postmaster. In the beginning, the post office was located on Water Street (now called Monument Avenue). Mail was brought to Hamilton once a week by horseback from Cincinnati and later came by stagecoach from Dayton. The post office has had many different locations before moving to a permanent site in 1932. Before that, it was located at the corner of Second and High (where the Rentschler Building now is). |
| On July 26, 1932, the cornerstone of the present post office at Court and Front Streets was put in place. |  |
