Several small towns share a larger neighbor’s ZIP rather than keeping one of their own.
\nMason mails through Greenville’s 03048, Deering and Windsor both mail through
\nHillsborough’s 03244, and Sharon mails through Peterborough’s 03458 — none of the
\nfour has run its own post office in decades. Several towns also carry named villages that are not
\nseparate places on the map: Hillsborough alone has five (Hillsborough, Hillsborough Center,
\nHillsborough Upper Village, Hillsborough Lower Village and Emerald Lake Village), Goffstown has
\nPinardville and Grasmere, Hudson has Hudson Center, Milford’s historic centre is called Union
\nSquare, and Lyndeborough has South Lyndeborough.<\/p>\n
