*The
post office is reported to have been established in San Francisco and
transferred to Marin. Originally the Island was in San Francisco County, but
after several shifts back-and-forth, it was permanently assigned to Marin
County in 1860. Therefore, Angel Island
Post Office has always been in Marin.
