Quick facts
Ohio was one of the original states to receive its ZIP code assignments when the system launched on July 1, 1963, and its codes were among the first to be widely adopted due to the state's large volume of commercial mail from industrial cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus.
The ZIP code 43001 in Alexandria, Ohio, is one of the lowest-numbered codes in the state, while 45999 in Dayton serves as one of the highest, illustrating how Ohio's codes span nearly 3,000 numbers across the 43000–45999 range.
Ohio's 30 distinct three-digit ZIP prefixes are managed by multiple USPS Sectional Center Facilities spread across the state, making it one of the most subdivided postal states east of the Mississippi River.
