After much effort, this dream is starting to become reality.

And without in the least being aware of it,he was also writing the first pages of the History of Mauritius, which was then still uninhabited, and which in the course of time, became the turntable of the commercial route between Europe and Asia.

Postal History in Mauritius
Mauritius issued its first postage stamps on 22 September 1847, under Governor William Gomm. The system completely overhauled the course of postal invoicing, since before the introduction of postage stamps, it was the addressee who had to pay the cost of carrying the letter and not the sender as is the case now. Only four countries had issued postage stamps before Mauritius: England in 1840, Brazil and Switzerland in 1843 and the U.S.A in 1847. Mauritius thus became the fifth country in the world to have issued its own postage stamps.
