	The development of postal codes happened first in large cities. Postal codes began with postal district numbers (or postal zone numbers) within large cities. [[London]] was first subdivided into 10 districts in 1857 (EC (East Central), WC (West Central), N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW), four were created to cover [[Liverpool]] in 1864; and [[Manchester]]/[[Salford]] was split into eight numbered districts in 1867/68. By [[World War I]], such postal district or zone numbers also existed in various large European cities. They existed in the United States at least as early as the 1920s, possibly implemented at the local post office level only (for example, instances of "Boston 9, Mass" in 1920 are attested<ref name="1920_advert_Hill_Clarke_Co">{{Cite journal \|author=Hill, Clarke & Co., Inc. \|title=Advertisement for a drill press, 1920 \|journal=American Machinist \|page=389 \|url=https://books.google.com/books~~/content~~?id=ezRMAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA2-PA389~~&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U3XbVXux4rCkbDjlhYwrl2il54vAA&w=1025~~ \|date=1 July 1920}}</ref><ref name="1920_advert_Lynd_Farquhar_Co">{{Cite journal \|author=Lynd-Farquhar Company \|title=Advertisement for machine tools \|journal=American Machinist \|page=284 \|url=https://books.google.com/books~~/content~~?id=ezRMAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA3-PA284~~&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U1mR5dU8XyNygDm5JSX6KkyZidqxQ&w=1025~~\|date=30 September 1920}}</ref>) although they were evidently not used throughout all major US cities (implemented [[USPOD]]-wide) until [[World War II]].

	By 1930 or earlier, the idea of extending the postal district or zone numbering plans beyond large cities to cover even small towns and rural locales had started. These developed into postal codes as they are defined today. The name of US postal codes, "ZIP Codes", reflects this evolutionary growth from a zone plan to a zone improvement plan, "ZIP".
