“We’re not the city of Fredericksburg:” Stafford leaders lobby post office for name change

Stafford County is seeking public input to decide whether or not to approach the U.S. Post Office to change location names attached to two zip codes within the county.

There are two zip codes, 22405 and 22406, that USPS has attached to Fredericksburg's location despite lying within Stafford County lines. This affects 25,713 residences and businesses across three magisterial: George Washington, Falmouth, and Hartwood.

George Washington District Supervisor Tom Coen is pushing for the change, citing a new tax on plastic shopping bags charged by neighboring Fredericksburg City on January 1, 2022. Businesses in Stafford County also began improperly charging the tax despite not being located within the city's boundaries.
