Back in May, the United States Postal Service sent a survey out to folks who live in Henrico, but still use Richmond as their postal address, asking them if they’d like to change their mailing address to Henrico.  The majority said yes, so for the Near West End that means that starting at then end of this year ”Henrico” will be the preferred address for those in the 23229 zip code. Because the 23226 zip includes portions of both Henrico and Richmond, the 23226 city zip will we remain “Richmond”.

But, the bottom line is you can still use Richmond, and your mail will get to you.  Either Henrico or Richmond remain acceptable.
