ZIP Code is the postal code used by the United States Postal Service, which always writes ZIP with capital letters. ZIP is an acronym for the Zone Improvement Plan, but was also meant to suggest that mail travels more efficiently (and therefore faster) when senders use it. The basic ZIP Code format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP+4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP Code plus four more digits which allow a piece of mail to be even more accurately directed to a very small geography. ZIP Code was originally registered as a trademark by the U.S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired.\n\nThe term "ZIP Code" is also used in the Philippines to name its postal codes. The Philippine ZIP Code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation. Unlike American ZIP Codes, Philippine ZIP Codes are four-digit numbers without any extensions. While the cities of Metro Manila use more than one code, towns and cities outside Metro Manila are assigned only one code for every town and city.\n\nThe postal service implemented postal zones for large cities in 1943. For example:\n\nJohn Smith\n3256 Epiphenomenal Avenue\nMinneapolis 16, Minnesota\nThe "16" is the number of the postal zone within the city.\n\nBy the early 1960s a more general system was needed, and on July 1, 1963, non-mandatory ZIP Codes were announced for the whole country. Robert Moon, an employee of the post office, is considered the father of the ZIP Code. He first submitted his proposal in 1944 while working as a postal inspector. The post office only gives credit to Moon for the first 3 digits of the ZIP Code, which describe the region of the country.\n\nIn most cases, the last two digits of the ZIP Code coincide with the older postal zone number, thus:\n\nJohn Smith\n3256 Epiphenomenal Avenue\nMinneapolis, Minnesota 55416\nIn 1967, these were made mandatory for second- and third-class bulk mailers and the system was soon adopted generally. The United States Post Office used a cartoon character, Mr. ZIP, to promote use of the ZIP Code in the 1970s.\n\nPostal abbreviations\nIn addition, two-letter abbreviations were introduced for states, eliminating the need to write the state's name out in full. For example, California is CA. Abbreviations are also assigned for U.S. territories like Puerto Rico (PR) and American Samoa (AS), as well as for several former U.S. Trust Territories in the Pacific, such as the Federated States of Micronesia (FM), which are now separate countries.\n\nSimilarly, US military addresses also have their own abbreviations. Mail to these addresses is sent to the Army (or Air Force) Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO). This may also be used for mail to many US diplomatic missions overseas.\n\nZIP+4\nIn 1983, the US Postal Service began using an expanded ZIP Code system called "ZIP+4", which are often called "plus-four codes" or "add-on codes." A ZIP+4 code uses the basic 5-digit ZIP plus an additional 4-digits to identify a geographic segment within the 5-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail, or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery. Use of the plus-four code is not required except for certain presorted mailings. In general, mail is read by a Multiline Optical Character Reader (MLOCR) that instantly determines the correct ZIP+4 code from the address and—along with the even more specific Delivery point—sprays an 11-digit POSTNET barcode on face of the mailpiece. This technology has greatly increased the speed and accuracy of mail delivery and in turn, kept costs nearly constant for over a decade.\n\nFor Post Office boxes, the general (but not invariable) rule is that each box has its own ZIP+4 code. The add-on code is often either the last four digits of the box number or 0 plus the last three digits of the box number. However, the

From Wikipedia: \n"ZIP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city), and the fourth and fifth digits representing more specific areas, such as small towns or regions of that city. The main town in a region (if applicable) often gets the first ZIP Codes for that region; afterwards, the numerical order often follows the alphabetical order."\n\nFor the complete discussion, see the following link:

It is the specific Zip Code for a small group of locations. Each address in the United States has a 9 digit numerical equivalent to its address so that addresses can be bar-coded and mail can be sorted mechanically and electronically into a small set of addresses that are then sorted by hand. The example you gave goes with a small group of addresses in Arlington, Virginia, USA

Zip Codes are used by the Postal Service to designate delivery areas. Each postal code is assigned to a specific post office. For a list of zip codes, look at the USPS website.
