Rep. Calvert Reintroduces Legislation to Establish a Zip Code for the City of Eastvale
Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) reintroduced legislation, H.R. 743, to establish a unique zip code for the city of Eastvale.
"For years, the residents, businesses, and elected leaders of Eastvale have been urging the Postal Service to establish a single, unique zip code for their city," said Rep. Calvert. "I share their frustration with the Postal Service's inaction on their request. A city of Eastvale's size should not be sharing a zip code with another city. It shouldn't take an act of Congress to make this commonsense change, but if it does then that's the course I'll continue to pursue. I'm confident that with the advocacy of Eastvale residents we will get this done."
"As the 2nd youngest City in California, having our own zip code helps put Eastvale on the map and eliminates confusion in our region," said Mayor Jocelyn Yow. "Having to share multiple zip codes that often gets Eastvale confused with Mira Loma or Corona creates significant issues for home/fire insurance, real estate transactions, and business deliveries, just to name a few. The City of Eastvale is a full-fledged City that has quickly become one of the fastest-growing cities in Riverside County. Establishing a zip code for the City is vital to the growth and sustainability of Eastvale."
Currently, the city of Eastvale is split between two zip codes, 91752 and 92880. The 91752 zip code is currently share between Eastvale and the city of Jurupa Valley. The city of Eastvale incorporated in 2010 and has a population of approximately 70,000.
