Mullingar is a hamlet in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, located 25 kilometres south-southwest of Spiritwood, 40 kilometres southeast of Glaslyn and about seven kilometres from Rabbit Lake.
Mullingar was established in 1909 by Charles and Mark Comerford and their families. They left Eldorado, Ontario, and homesteaded in the Mullingar district in 1906. In 1907, a country post office was erected [2] and the name "Mullingar" was chosen by Mark Comerford; to choose he closed his eyes and pointed to a map of Ireland. Charles Comerford was then the first postmaster of Mullingar. He was also one of the five township organizers to pave the way for its local improvement district, and was Reeve for the RM #466 for 19 years. Mullingar was and still is a farming community. Although the original post office is not there, the postal code and boxes are still used.
Postal codes used in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are known as postcodes. They are alphanumeric and were adopted nationally between 11 October 1959 and 1974, having been devised by the General Post Office. A full postcode is known as a "postcode unit" and designates an area with several addresses or a single major delivery point.
The Postmaster General of the United Kingdom was a Cabinet-level ministerial position in HM Government. Aside from maintaining the postal system, the Telegraph Act 1868 established the Postmaster General's right to exclusively maintain electric telegraphs. This would subsequently extend to telecommunications and broadcasting.
