About the two Post Offices:
Most Middlesex businesses and residents are served by the Montpelier Post Office and their zip code is the same as Montpelier’s: 05602. The north side of town is served by the Worcester Post Office and uses a North Middlesex address. North Middlesex is a creation of the postal system and is only a mailing entity (not a political one). The North Middlesex zip code is the same as Worcester’s: 05682.
