A Post Office was opened in Aden under Indian administration in
1839 and mail is known to have been sent from 15 June
1839. Handstamps quickly came into use but a postmaster
was not appointed until 1857. The original Post Office at Crater
was called Aden Cantonment or Aden Camp after the main
office moved to Steamer Point around 1858. Aden became
the mail exchange port for the few countries which
operated through the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean and Far
East. Sub-POs were opened at Sheikh Othman in 1891;
Khormaksar in 1892; Dthali in 1903-7, and
Maalla in
1922. |
