Anguilla was first colonised by English settlers from Saint Kitts in 1650. A French invasion in 1796 led to the island being ceded to Great Britain at the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. It was used as a military depot during the Napoleonic Wars and became an important staging point for British troops en route to the American Civil War. During World War II, the British government fortified Anguilla as part of its anti-invasion preparations for Operation Torch, but these preparations were not completed until after the invasion had begun on 8 November 1942.
The Anguilla country postal code is also known as ZIP codes, abbreviated by a 5 digit number. This code consists of 5 digits. It is used to indicate a particular geographical location within an area or town.

The abbreviation for “postal code” is “P.O.” which stands for Post Office. These are usually found on the bottom left hand side corner of envelopes and letters that have been sent through the postal service in any part of the world.
So what do you think? Do you think that country postal codes are useful and a good idea? Or do you think that they are unnecessary and a waste of money? Should all people use the same postal code or should every country have its own postal code so that the mail can be delivered correctly? Please comment below with your thoughts.
