A Zip Code was Started by the post office and was Meant to Zip (Speed) the Mail to The Correct City Area. The Code in the USA is a 5 digit Number

In Later Years They added 4 More Digits to get down to The Postal Route and Street   Example 12345-6789

Answer 4

Zip codes were established in (I think) the 1960's by the US Postal Service as a method of sorting mail and getting it to the proper area.  The original zip codes consisted of only 5 digits and covers a given area.  Some years later, an additional 4 digits were added after a dash, and this makes it specific to the address.  Many people don't know their 4 digit part and still use only the 5 digit zip code.

Other countries have different methods of addressing mail and don't use the same zip code method s the USA.
