The Lititz Post Office was established in February of 1806, fifty years after the founding of the Moravian community. Christian Hall, who arrived in Lititz from Bethlehem, Pa., was the first postmaster. Hall’s post office was located in a small area of the Zum Anker Inn (now the Lititz Springs Inn). When the first post office was established, the town was named Litiz, as the majority of the citizens were of German descent.
In 1830 Frederick Zitzman, son-in-law of Johannes Mueller, the town dyer, added a wood-frame structure to Mueller’s house and used it as a post office. This replaced the one at the Zum Anker. Zitzman remained in this position until 1849.
