Location in Polk County and the state of Florida
Davenport is a town in Polk County, Florida, United States. The population was 2,888 at the 2010 census.[7] While the city of Davenport itself is very small, the area north of the city close to Interstate 4 and US 27 is experiencing explosive growth. It is part of the Lakeland–Winter Haven Metropolitan Statistical Area. The current interim mayor is H.B. "Rob" Robinson,[8] who was appointed in February 2018. Per the City Charter, Mayor Robinson beat former Mayor Darlene Bradley capturing 69.8% of the vote in the municipal election in April 2019.
The settlement in the area now known as Davenport was established in 1838 when the U.S. military set up Fort Davenport during the Second Seminole War, about 12 miles north of the present site of Davenport. The fort was one of a number built at 20 mile intervals along a trail from Fort Brooke to Fort Mellon. The fort only lasted a few years.[9] The fort was named for Colonel William Davenport, who served as the local U.S. commander in the war.[10] There is no known documentary evidence to support an alternative claim that the city was named for a railroad conductor.[10][11]
The modern city of Davenport had its start in the 1880s when the South Florida Railroad was extended to that point.[12] The settlement was first known as Horse Creek, for the creek first recorded on a U.S. Army survey of 1849 which flows past the site to enter Snell Creek and eventually Lake Hatchineha in the Kissimmee River system.[13] A post office was established at Horse Creek in 1884, and the name of the post office was changed to Davenport in 1886.[10][14] Davenport was incorporated in 1915.[1]
The South Florida Railroad opened a station half a mile north of the present site of the city. In 1926, it was replaced by a new station in the downtown area. It was later closed in the 1970s. From 1958 to 1986 there was a second station, the Vertagreen Railroad Station, opened only for the transportation of fertilizer and not for public use.[15]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.6 square miles (4.1 km2), of which 1.6 square miles (4.1 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (3.68%) is water.
Davenport is located in the humid subtropical zone, as designated by (Köppen climate classification: Cfa).[18]

No one Hispanic group formed a majority of the population with 12.7% being Puerto Rican, 12.1% being Mexican and the remaining 3.9% of the population that was Hispanic scattered among several different groups.[21]
The area around Davenport in northeast Polk County used to be centered on the remote Circus World amusement park. It was redeveloped in 1987 into Boardwalk and Baseball and included a minor league baseball park that would attract spring training and minor league baseball teams for the Kansas City Royals, earning the area the moniker "Baseball City". The amusement park failed in 1990, and the Royals left for Arizona and the Cactus League in 2003. The Baseball City name is now extinct, and the area around the stadium (which was demolished in 2005) has been redeveloped into Posner Park, a large outdoor shopping mall.

Is this unofficial mail carrier actually holding our mail hostage? I noticed he did not stop to deliver my mail (I receive my mail notices on my USPS account) and when I drove up to him and ask why didn't he leave my mail; he stated rudely, that they do not have to exit their vehicles to deliver if mailbox is blocked. I get that, what I don't get is that the mailbox was completely NOT blocked (picture to be sent to USPS Claim Division). Now, after visiting the Davenport Post Office on South St., a manager called Kelly (as shown also on a previous review) wrote my info on a postal note?!? and provided his email to submit the picture to him? Luckily before I proceeded to do that, I found this page full of valuable reviews. As I also found, a legitimate way to actually file a claim. It is hardly to believe, all these reviews and no change? I would also need to add that this carrier delivers driving from the passenger side, nerveless to say, putting our and your community at risk.
I’m not happy with the way my or our mailman is doing his job he will purposely not deliver my mail if my car is parked on the street this guy forgets the ole saying neither rain snow or sleet will prevent us from delivering mail also his vehicle is not set up for driving on passenger side but he still drives that way putting the community at risk sad but I will open a case regardless !
Your carrier is the worse i've ever seen. I can't believe a small post office can screw up so much. I wish i could be under a different office than Davenport. The carrier has been working our mail for 3 hours now, and yes i live in a small community of 55+. And they need help from the government, I vote no until they stop working as clowns. Get carriers that know what there doing.......
i have a legal address with the postal service yet they continue to send mail in bulk to our camp ground. yet when you tell the carrier they tell you that is the way it is. if they cant deliver the mail to the reconized address on the mail they should not be doing it. when you call you will not get any one to answer the phone. packages should be delivered to the addrese not to some one else. this is a ongoing problem as i have lived at this address for over 15 yrs they will not alow me to put a mail box up because its more work for the carrier
Where is my sons autistic and ADHD medication? I called the doctors office, and was told that the tracking says that it’s been delivered September 8th at 1:39pm. I’ve been home helping the kids with their on line classes no package from the Davenport postal service Was delivered. So this means they delivered it to the wrong address again. About a year ago this happened also, back then I went to the office to get help finding his medication. While doing so I was told by a supervisor that they deliver a lot of mail throughout the day, and if they only lose or misplace a small amount then they are doing good! I disagree with his statement you should make sure your delivery men or weman do their jobs and not misplace any mail. Get it together Davenport post office my son needs that medication. He’s not focusing at all without it, and now I have to deal with the outcome.
Where is my package? they said they delivery on May 22, 2020 at the front porch ( that I don't have) at 12:45pm but that's not true, I even have cameras and be at home at that time that day and the mailman didn't came to ring the bell or walk to my front door, we have before a lady that I trust, she walk and ring the bell or leave a note to pickup the package at the post office, she never leave a package outside, but she get retired, I can't trust the mail anymore. I saw different persons doing this job, how it's that possible the mail is something really important not everyone can't do it, I even send a mail to my country in mothers day and they never received either. With this situation is impossible to trust the mail anymore. Does somebody do something about that pls.
Answer the fOcking phone !!! its only 2.50pm !
My package was sent to your post office on April 11 and it’s still not delivered. The tracking number 92001902643736000102690639 Please let me know it’s very important
I’ve had a card with a stamp in my mailbox for a week. Our carrier has still come to take it with my red flag up so don’t tell me it’s my fault. I’ve had multiple problems with my carrier in Davenport and when I went to the Davenport post office on south street the manager wrote my info down on a post it. I’ve just kept calling the location and no one is yet again answering. Why can’t you hire legit loyal employees instead of someone who buys a route and does whatever they please? Help me get my piece of mail picked up! It’s a god damn birthday card to a family member!
Davenport Post Office is the worst I have ever had to deal with. They lose packages all the time then tell you to check with your neighbors. How do I get a new post office.
If anyone's car is within 5 feet of our mailbox we don't get mail. We are very careful not to park near the mailbox but can't control other people's cars. We go for days without mail because of this problem. I moved from an area where the mail person parked at the end of the block and walked to deliver to each house, not sure why it's so hard to deliver mail here. It's literally their only responsibility is to DELIVER mail.
So apparently our Mailman was on Vacation for a week, so whatever Polk County In-bred covered his shift, shoved our mail so tight in mailbox, he prob used his foot to cram it all in.. so maybe use somebody with a little bit of Education next time? I don’t know, Polk County is full of dumb freakin idiots...
We live at the north end of Polk county...have Davenport address...long drive to go to that post office so I did my temporary mail change on line...well we get some of our mail and some is going back saying we moved! Tried to call they don't answer! Come on this happens every year...pay attention please!
This post office will not answer the phone. 4pm March 26, 2019. Tried for one hour every few minutes. Mail left at my home for some other address.
Let’s start this off with first of all they got the name of our street wrong. Our actual street address does not exist to them.To Polk County it does. Second of all many times it has happened that they say “can’t find your mailbox” and my package gets returned to sender. We’ve only lived in our newly built home for a week, and this has happened many times. Very frustrating! Third of all when they finally could find the mailbox they squeezed a package way to big to fit into the mailbox (we have a locker mailbox) when it should have just been delivered to my home! Never actually could open the slot they jammed it into...
Once again an item I ordered was marked "Return to Sender" because a substitute driver couldn't find my mailbox. This is really getting old plus the fact that it's costing me money! I've notified the Davenport FL Post Office, in writing of the issue, yet it continues to happen every time there is a substitute driver!!! Shipped with USPS Tracking ID 9300120111403411057272 Friday, March 8 10:13 AM Undeliverable - Incorrect Address Davenport, FL US 8:39 AM Out for delivery Davenport, FL US 6:25 AM Package arrived at a carrier facility Davenport, FL US Thursday, March 7 10:29 PM Package arrived at a carrier facility Ybor City Fl Distribution Center, US Tuesday, March 5 6:35 PM Package arrived at a carrier facility Eugene Or Distribution Center, US Package has shipped
Very frustrated to say the least! Third time a scheduled pickup was missed. The phone never answers or goes to fax, tried calling the 800 number and they say the hold time is over an hour!! Think its time to reconsider using usps for packages going forward...... very sad
how do I do to get my package?, it shows out of delivery, held by post office at customer request. ,
Since I cant get anyone to answer the phone this is the only way to get the message out. Our mail carrier is awful but especially during the holidays its gotten worse. Thank Goodness I have great neighbors that do not mind doing the Carriers job otherwise i would never get my mail!
Dec 14, 2018 I have packings that say they are out for delivery. One has been out for delivery since Dec 12. The other has been out for delivery since Dec 10. Why are they not here yet?
Our regular carrier is awesome, his substitute / replacements, not so much :(
I got a notice that my tracked pkg was in my PO Box..nope. So I called the PO...no answer 4 times..tried to email Postmaster. Nope, can't do that. Only want the substitute carrier to be asked about it while it's fresh in his mind. I filled out a Where's My Mail form. This is not the first time and I'm growing impatient with the incompetence. I thought one needed to pass an exam to work for the PO. Now I can't post without deleting first one, so here it is as a reply.

Please hire competent workers. My current carrier is terrible. I am constantly receiving other peoples mail. I can only wonder who is receiving mine and what they are doing with it. Address this problem, and please answer the phone!
This post office refuse to service my house base on some regulation and when I asked to provide me those regulation the manager refuse to provide me and force me to move away asking the next in line. I even called the federal numbe for USPS and no one know about any regulation that obstruct me to received mail and they are playing ball with me. This is going on for over a years and even tax mail is send back. All my mail is send back for the reason of incorrect address when actually the address is perfectly correct they don’t have balls to return the mail base on refusing to deliver the mail. I even went to the post office to pick up my mail and packages and they refuse to release and smile in my face saying that you won’t get them because you are not permanent resident here,but I pay my taxes as a permanent resident with no discount for not leave permanent at that address. Ironically if I buy a box they have no problem to service me even if I don’t leave permanent there. So should I come to the conclusion that they are as.. and want to make more money? If anyone for the headquarter read this one ,please contact me at designembroidery@hotmail.com. I will be glad to get more informations. I been advice by city Council to hire a lawyer for this problem. If I’ll get there it will get ugly!
This post office now qualify as the WORST one I have ever had dealings with.3 boxes with tracking numbers where all returned to sender having arrived at the Davenport office and not delivered to me. The reason stated address incorrect/ not readable/ incomplete. I am 13 miles from the office in Davenport. The address were correct they are just bone idle
I will be contacting the branch director for the unprofessionalism and the actions of our newly assigned mail carrier. The majority of my clients travel extensively for business, and come home to vacant slips in their mailboxes. We have never had an issue with mail being brought to our office to hold. If this is policy, that is understandable, but we have never had an issue with working with the post office to service out residents the best that we can. He refused to give the name of his supervisor,
