Early Days and the Post Office
In 1884, a post office was opened in Bordeaux. Back then, post offices were super important! They weren't just for sending letters; they were often the heart of a community. People would gather there to pick up mail, share news, and connect with others. It was a vital link to the outside world. The post office in Bordeaux served the community for about 12 years before it closed down in 1896.
