\"Oifig<\/a>

Oifig an Phoist sa sc\u00e1ilbhaile “American Flag” in Arizona. Picti\u00far \u00f3 9 Me\u00e1n F\u00f3mhair 2013 ag taispe\u00e1int go bhfuil an bhratach ar foluain f\u00f3s. GRMA, a Ammodramas a ghlac an grianghraf (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:American_Flag_post_office_from_N_3.JPG); curtha leis an mblag seo 25 Ean\u00e1ir 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

(Achoimre: <\/strong>So there\u2019s this place in Arizona called \u201cAmerican Flag\u201d \u2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leis an fh\u00edrinne a dh\u00e9anamh, n\u00ed raibh a fhios agam go raibh a leith\u00e9id sin d\u2019\u00e1it ann go dt\u00ed go raibh m\u00e9 ar lorg tuilleadh eolais faoi Bhratach Mheirice\u00e1 agus th\u00e1inig m\u00e9 air seo.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

(\u2026 which I hadn\u2019t heard of until now)<\/p>\n

Bhunaigh Isaac Lorraine an baile sna 1870\u00ed.\u00a0 Ba shirtheoir as Martinique \u00e9.\u00a0 Thug s\u00e9 an t-ainm\u00a0 \u201c<\/strong>American Flag Mine\u201d ar an mianach a d\u2019oscail s\u00e9 ansin.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Agus as sin a th\u00e1inig ainm an bhaile.\u00a0 N\u00ed raibh s\u00e9 riamh m\u00f3r \u2013 b\u2019fh\u00e9idir daichead duine nuair a bh\u00ed an mianach i mbarr a r\u00e9ime.\u00a0 Ach bh\u00ed oifig phoist ann agus mar sin, ba bhaile \u00e9.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

(The name came from the American Flag Mine and at its peak, the town had about 40 residents.\u00a0 Having a post office gave it official status)<\/p>\n

Is sc\u00e1ilbhaile anois \u00e9.\u00a0 Sa bhliain 1884 n\u00ed raibh ach c\u00faig dhuine dh\u00e9ag f\u00e1gtha sa \u201cbhaile.\u201d\u00a0 D\u00fanadh oifig an phoist sa bhaile seo ar an 16\u00fa l\u00e1 de mh\u00ed I\u00fail i 1890 agus d\u2019imigh na daoine a bh\u00ed f\u00e1gtha ina dhiaidh sin.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

(It\u2019s been a ghost town since the 1890s)<\/p>\n

T\u00e1 oifig phoist Bhratach Mheirice\u00e1 ina seasamh f\u00f3s agus t\u00e1 s\u00ed ar an <\/strong>National Register of Historic Places.\u00a0 N\u00edl a fhios agam an bhfuil Bratach Mheirice\u00e1 ar foluain taobh amuigh den oifig phoist sin.\u00a0 N\u00edl a fhios agam c\u00e9n rialacha a bhaineann le taispe\u00e1int bratacha taobh amuigh d\u2019oifig\u00ed poist at\u00e1 buand\u00fanta n\u00f3 at\u00e1 buand\u00fanta ach ina l\u00e1thair stairi\u00fail.\u00a0 Agus ar nd\u00f3igh n\u00ed raibh Arizona ina st\u00e1t go dt\u00ed 1912.\u00a0 Ba chr\u00edoch \u00e9 agus ba oifig\u00ed poist cr\u00edochacha a bh\u00ed san \u00e1it roimhe sin.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

(Anyone local to the area know anything more about it?)<\/p>\n

Anois go bhfuil a fhios againn nach bhfuil duine ar bith ina ch\u00f3na\u00ed ann anois, ba ch\u00f3ir ceist mar \u201cC\u00e9 a bh\u00edodh ina ch\u00f3na\u00ed i mBratach Mheirice\u00e1, Arizona? \u201c a r\u00e1 (san Aimsir Ghn\u00e1thchaite).<\/strong><\/p>\n
