Exploring Seminole, Pennsylvania
Seminole is a quiet spot in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania. It's a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or a town with its own mayor or city council.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
Imagine a neighborhood or a small group of homes that aren't part of an official city. That's pretty much what an unincorporated community is! These places are usually governed by the county or township they are in. For Seminole, that's Mahoning Township in Armstrong County.
Where is Seminole Located?
Seminole is nestled in the western part of Pennsylvania. It's about 3.3 miles (which is around 5.3 kilometers) south of a town called New Bethlehem. This location puts it in a more rural area, surrounded by the natural beauty of the region.
The Story of Seminole's Mail
Even though Seminole is a small community, it used to have its very own post office. This post office helped people send and receive mail right in their neighborhood. It closed on September 28, 2002.
However, Seminole still has its own special ZIP code, which is 16253. A ZIP code is a unique number that helps the postal service sort mail quickly. Even without its own post office, the ZIP code helps make sure mail gets to the right homes in Seminole.
