Quick facts
Indiana was one of the first states to fully adopt the ZIP code system when it was introduced by the U.S. Postal Service on July 1, 1963, and Indianapolis postmaster facilities played an early role in promoting the new coding system to businesses.
The smallest ZIP code in Indiana, 46001, is assigned to Alexandria in Madison County, while the highest, 47995, belongs to Wolcott in White County — meaning the entire state's postal geography is captured within a span of just 1,994 numerical codes.
Indianapolis alone uses more than 40 distinct ZIP codes, making it one of the most ZIP-code-dense cities in the Midwest and reflecting its unique consolidated city-county government structure known as Unigov.
