State Abbreviations

State abbreviations are much needed when you are filling up any form or writing any detailed address information.

Abbreviations are the short form of the US state names which is standardized by the Postal Service of the United States of America. Though we know the abbreviations of common and popular states, for others we need to look for the list.

Postal abbreviations of the United States have gone through 5 stage changes. State abbreviations are introduced in 1831 for the first time and the latest change took place in 1963 which is currently being used everywhere.
