Fun Facts

The Historic Santa Claus Post Office is the only post office in the world with the Santa Claus name, and it processes over 400,000 pieces of mail during the holiday season.

The town was originally called Santa Fe, but when it applied for a post office in 1856, the name was already taken, leading to the festive name change.

Every year, the post office offers a special holiday postmark designed by a local high school student, making it a sought-after collectible.

The Santa Claus Museum & Village organizes a group of volunteers known as Santa's Elves, who respond to children's letters from around the world.

The post office is located near Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, a popular amusement park that embraces the town's festive spirit.
