The Danville Post Office was built in 2005 replacing the former post office across the road. Danville has a current population of 45 in 2016 an increase of 73% from 2014.
We talked with one of the employees of the Danville Post Office and she was very friendly and helpful. She was very proud of her post office and everyone tries to keep the building well maintained. It is a grey sided building and one of the larger post offices in the area which is surprising for such a small community.
Danville is the border crossing for the United States and Canada to the north.
“In 1897 the town was designated the first post office on the Colville Reservation, with Peter Nelson as postmaster, and was platted in 1902. In order to avoid confusion with Nelson, British Columbia, its name was changed to Danville, after Spokane pioneer Daniel Drumheller (1840-1925), a prosperous cattle dealer who ran large herds to supply meat to the miners.”
