US District, Territory, and Possession Abbreviations and Capitals
The standard, or traditional, abbreviations, were widely used on mailing addresses and in other contexts before the two-letter postal abbreviations were introduced. Use the standard state abbreviations, with periods and spaces as shown, for all purposes other than postal addresses. The United States Post Office instituted two letter state abbreviations along with five digit zip codes in 1963. These postal abbreviations should only be used in mailing addresses. When abbreviating the name of a state in a mailing address, use uppercase letters, with no space between the letters.
