The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced the upcoming issuance of a new stamp in recognition of Colorado’s statehood. The stamp will be released on January 24, 2025, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Colorado becoming a state in the Union in 1876.
The stamp design is inspired by Colorado’s natural beauty and features a vibrant illustration that includes the Rocky Mountains, which symbolize the state’s rich geography and outdoor lifestyle. The design aims to represent not only the scenic landscapes but also the cultural diversity and history of Colorado.
USPS will hold a ceremonial first-day-of-issue event on January 24, 2025, where the new stamp will be unveiled. This event is set to take place in Denver, Colorado, although the specific location and details will be confirmed closer to the date. This event will allow the public to participate in the celebration of the stamp’s release and the significance of Colorado's statehood.
In conjunction with the stamp release, USPS is encouraging collectors and enthusiasts to learn more about the history of stamps and the role they play in the postal system. Through this new series of stamps, USPS continues to honor the states and their histories, contributing to the ongoing narrative of the nation’s postal heritage.
