Rural Free Delivery (RFD) is a service which began in the United States in the late 19th century, to Postal Service mail carriers deliver mail directly to rural farm families. Prior to Rural Free Delivery, individuals living in more remote homesteads had to go to town to pick up mail themselves at distant post offices (which in some cases was only done once a month when already in town to buy supplies, etc.) or pay private carriers for delivery.
