Anna Maria Post Office
No full textCars park in front of the Anna Maria Post Office in the shopping Center at 10005 Gulf Drive. Anna Maria, the oldest of Anna Maria Island's three cities, got its first post office on February 8, 1904 with Samuel C. Cobb as first postmaster, followed by H.H. Whitehead in 1915 and James G. Whitehead in 1919. Harry Ditmas, an Anna Maria city commissioner, followed in 1922 and brought mail to the Island beginning in 1924 in a truck remodeled to look like an old pioneer prairie schooner. He used to dress up as Uncle Sam. He died in 1956 at age 79. When Ditmas took a four year vacation from the mail route in 1932 to 1936, Eleanor Gill delivered mail around Anna Maria Island in her 1932 station wagon, when there were only sand and shell for roads. There were only 37 rural mailboxes back then. Mary Standifer was postal clerk when this photo was taken in 1982. Ron Smith began as a postal clerk in 1971 and was postmaster for 13 years, 1988-2001. He oversaw the move in 2000 from this little storefront post office to a larger building at 101B South Bay Boulevard. He was followed in 2001 by Danny Haynes, a 1973 graduate of Southeast High School. Long time postal clerk Judy Adams also retired in 2001. Her father-in-law Sam Adams began working there in 1943 and stayed eleven years
