TONY!!!!!!!!! Dag nabbitt!!! You have my e-mail address.....give me a shout via e-mail. I thought you were going to NY.........
Why are the homes listed as Garner while most of the business listed as being in Clayton? We're around 9 miles away from the City Limits of either!
Cornwallis and Swift Creek are some of the boundaries. "Clayton" by mailing address: "Garner" by mailing address:
None of the above. I live in the Cleveland School community. It could be taken as Willow Springs if you go by the USGS maps though. I'll vote for 4042 because thats my closest option I guess but i have a Clayton address and a Smithfield phone number...Go figure!
The *only* thing it indicates is what post office delivers your mail. The town listed in the mailing address has no actual significance when it comes to incorporation, services provided, zoning, businesses being built, etc.
Like Smithers said, it's all just about which post office is assigned to your area via your zipcode. The actual ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) and planning areas for each town are different. However, this part of the area is particularly funny for zip codes:
This is Clayton's Town Limits and ETJ - http://www.townofclaytonnc.org/uploads/files/Planning/town limit and etj boundary map 2012.pdf And Garner's Town Limits and ETJ - http://www.garnernc.gov/Publications/Planning/Maps/Garner Town Limits.pdf
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterritorial_jurisdiction I did a really quick map showing the ETJ of Clayton and Garner, they are by no means exact, but pretty close. Should give some an idea as to where they sit in relation to them.
Neither ETJ extends into our area. Why don't we have a Willow Spring address as that could be the closest Post Office?
Distance to 40/42 interchange: Willow Spring Post Office - 9.5 miles Clayton Post Office - 7.2 miles Garner Post Office - 7.7 miles
