02090

02090 is a United States ZIP code designated by the United States Postal Service to a geographic area in Massachusetts. ZIP codes are used to identify delivery routes and to improve the efficiency of mail handling, sorting, and routing.

The 02090 designation belongs to the system of five-digit ZIP codes used in Massachusetts. As with many ZIP codes, the precise boundaries of 02090 may reflect changes over time as addresses are added, reassigned, or reorganized by the USPS. The code can be associated with more than one municipality within its service area, since ZIP code boundaries do not always align exactly with town borders.

In addition to mail delivery, ZIP codes like 02090 support a range of practical uses, including demographic analysis, marketing, logistics planning, and the provision of location-based services by businesses and government agencies. They help standardize addresses, enable better targeting for services, and aid emergency response and public planning efforts.

History: The ZIP code system was introduced by the U.S. Postal Service in 1963 to streamline mail processing and improve delivery efficiency. The codes have since been used for various administrative and analytical purposes, with ZIP+4 codes later added to provide greater precision in routing and address identification.
