The Misquamicut Post
Office was a sub-station of the
Westerly Post Office and operated from
October 1, 1928 to June 17, 1975. This Post Office
operated during the summer only and its first day of operation
each year was on June 1. Thus, the first day that the
tercentenary issue could be canceled at this post office was on
that date and counts as an unofficial city first day cancel.
