The first post office in Boyne Falls was established shortly after the village was platted in 1874. William Nelson was the first postmaster. Later, Dan Judd became postmaster and was the first person in town to own an automobile. Mrs William (Effie) Fanning was an early postmistress. John Hausler was postmaster from 1935 through 1962. At that time, the post office was adjoining Snyder's Store.

Early mail delivery was done by Oliver McGee, circa 1920. Sharon Crego was also a long-time mail delivery person from 1954 through 1989. Ezra Hetrick preceeded Sharon in the daily devivery job.

Thoughout the years the location of the postoffice changed, as did the postmaters. Historical pictures of the postoffice and its employees are shown below.
