The area received its first post office in 1902 under the name Higgins Lake, although it was a summer-only post office that only existed briefly from June 17 to August 30, 1902. A permanent Higgins Lake post office was opened under the same name on May 3, 1909. This post office was discontinued soon after on March 31, 1910 but reestablished under the name Lyon Manor on August 12, 1910. The name Lyon Manor was used until January 1, 1960 when the name was changed back to Higgins Lake. The post office remains in operation and is located at 6311 West Higgins Lake Drive. The post office currently uses the 48627 ZIP Code and is primarily used for post office box services. The ZIP Code delivery serves a very small area encompassing the neighborhood immediately surrounding the post office. The majority of the Higgins Lake area is served separately by the Roscommon 48653 ZIP Code. References
