According to reports, since 1853, correspondence has been sent through Sierra Leone[2][3]. Postal service in the Gambia was established in 1858 by the British colonial authorities[4]. Since 1861, letters have been extinguished with rubber stamps of the English "Paid" ("Paid"). From 1861 to 1869, Sierra Leone postage stamps were in circulation in the Gambia[3]. In 1922, a ship named "Prince of Wales" began cruising along the river, delivering mail from Banjul to settlements up the river[4]. Since that year, mobile post offices have been operating on state river steamers[2]. In 1976, the Gambia Post Office was established in its current form[4]. In 2005, the National Assembly of the Gambia passed a law establishing the Gambia Postal Communications Corporation (Gampost)[5]. Postage stamp issues The first postage stamps The first postage stamps of the Gambia were issued in March 1869.[6][7][2][3]. The first issues (until 1886) depicted a relief portrait of Queen Victoria[3]. Subsequent releases Subsequent issues of the Gambia are characterized by the usual drawings of postage stamps of British colonial possessions[3]. Postage stamp of the Gambia, 1922 In 1935, the first commemorative stamps were issued in the Gambia[6]. Postage stamps of the British Gambia are characterized by inscriptions: English "Gambia" ("Gambia"), "Postage & revenue" ("Postal and stamp duties")[7]. In 1963, the granting of self-government to the Gambia was marked with appropriate overprints[3]. In the period from 1869 to 1963, a total of 184 postage stamps were issued[7]. Independence The Gambia gained independence on February 18, 1965 as a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth of Nations. This event was marked by the issue of commemorative stamps, as well as an overprint on standard postage stamps of the colonial period "Independence" ("Independence, 1965")[6][3]. On April 24, 1970, the Gambia became a republic. The first postal block was published in 1976[6]. In 1979, self-adhesive postage stamps in branded booklets were issued in the Gambia[6]. Postage stamps issued in the Gambia since the late 1970s are almost entirely aimed at the thematic philatelic market[3]. Legendary Heroes of Africa "Legendary Heroes of Africa" is a series of postage stamps simultaneously issued by the Gambia, Liberia and Sierra Leone in March 2011 in honor of the Jewish heroes of the liberation struggle of South Africa.
