World Post Day happens each year on the 9th of October. This date is the anniversary of the Universal Postal 1 Union (UPU), which started in 1874 in Switzerland. The UPU was the start of the global communications revolution; people could write to others all over the world. World Post Day started in 1969 at the UPU Congress in Tokyo. Since then, countries all over the world take part in celebrations to highlight the importance of our postal services. Many things happen on this day. Post offices in some countries hold special stamp collection exhibitions; there are open days at postal museums and there are workshops on postal history. The UPU organizes an international letter-writing competition for young people.


Postal systems have been in operation for many centuries. From way back in history, people sent letters to each other. These were delivered on foot or on horseback by special messengers. From the 1600s, the first national postage systems began springing up in many countries. These were more organized and many people could us them. Slowly, countries agreed to exchange mail internationally. By the late 1800s, there was a global postal service, but it was slow and complicated. The birth of the UPU in 1874 opened the way for the super-efficient postal service we have today. In 1948, the UPU became an agency of the United Nations. It is now monitoring our systems of digital communication.
