Zone Codes to Zip Codes....When?

Does anyone in this learned community know when the Postal Service changed from Zone Codes to Zip Codes ? I have some stuff I need to date and this will give me a starting point.

Thanks in advance!

ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan. I think it was started somewhere between '60 an '64, possibly '62.

I always thought it was 1962, but it turns out to be July 1st, 1963.

I came across some old French's Dry Mustard in the cupboard, I guess it takes me forever to use that stuff. The address on the bottle said, "Rochester 4, NY." I thought it wise to throw it out.....

my father is an ex postmaster, and confirmed that it was 63, but they were out there in 61, just not used much except for in the big cities.
