<1>	ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a city (such as Fort Wayne). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Fort Wayne or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Fort Wayne includes: 46801, 46802, 46803, 46804, 46805, 46806, 46807, 46808, 46814, 46815, 46818, 46825, 46835, 46845, 46850, 46851, 46852, 46853, 46854, 46855, 46856, 46857, 46858, 46859, 46860, 46861, 46862, 46863, 46864, 46865, 46866, 46867, 46868, 46885, 46895, 46896, 46897, 46898 & 46899.
