The post office at 24930 Washington Ave. opened in 1985 and is a short distance from the original post office building that began serving the community in 1940 at 24861 Washington Ave. (Rachel Nunes/Patch)
MURRIETA, CA The little brick post office in Old Town Murrieta could get a new name. Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona) whose 42nd Congressional District includes much of Southwest Riverside County has introduced legislation, H.R. 797, to name the post office at 24930 Washington Ave. in honor of the Riverside County veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
If passed, the bill would designate the post office as the Riverside County Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Memorial Post Office.
