1794 - The US Post Office was established.
I think I read Benjamin Franklin was the first Post Master General.. If so, he was the first to practise Nepotism (his son was a high official of the Post Office) and the practice has been running rampart since. I saw, I know.
Also, that same son sided with the Brits - not that it has anything to do with the birth of the Post Office or anything. I probably have just enough knowledge on this to be dangerous.
