History of the Area Post Offices
A system of letter carrying through Reach Township began at intervals as early as 1827, as mail was carried from the front (Whitby) by travellers on foot.
Capt. George Leach, the first storekeeper in Reach, also became the first postmaster, opening a post office in Prince Albert in 1840. By 1848 the first mail-stage was put into operation, dropping off mail twice a week at the Reach post office. This was increased to three-times weekly in 1948.
