DESCRIPTION:

Before 1840, only the wealthy could afford to send letters further than their town. The postage stamps' invention in England by Sir Rowland Hill on May 6, 1840, would change that. The postage stamp did for 19th-century families and friends what Facebook and Skype have done for 21st-century families and friends: it put people in touch economically, quickly, and efficiently.

March 3, 1847, was the date the US Congress approved the first postage stamp. It went on sale July 1, 1847, with a five and ten-cent version, the cost today for overnight letter delivery.

With email and electronic stamps, fewer people use the humble postage stamp to send letters. But this doesn't diminish the cultural heritage of these tiny pieces of art. The US Postal Service is the primary organization behind this month, and it usually initiates it with the release of a unique collectible stamp each year.
