Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing that there are many different cities and communities in Craven County that are not well known. Before the Civil War, post offices could be miles apart which caused mail delivery and pickup for individual in these small communities to be infrequent. After the civil war and the expansion of the railroad system post offices became more abundant because they followed the railroads and communities that were founded because of the railroad. The communities affected the most by this are Ernul, Caton, Askins, Wasp, Honolulu, Maple Cypress, Fort Barnwell, Cobton, Perfection, Jasper, Tuscarora, Thurman, Croatan, Pine Grove, North Harlowe, Bachelor, and Blades. These communities were the few that had a formal post office whereas many small communities did not which caused their residents to have infrequences in their mail.
