Little is known about the first Post Office, but a postmistress Mrs. E. Pearson was appointed in 1841, and possibly a postmaster was appointed as early as 1838.The post office was part of a rented cottage. By 1848 Camden was part of a daily mail coach service from Sydney to Goulburn.
A Telegraph Office was opened in 1877 and in 1878 it was proposed to combine the two offices into a Government built building. Tenders were called and a post office, on the present site, was completed 8th February 1882.
At that time it consisted of a 20 feet by 15 feet office, four rooms, a servants room and a kitchen. Additional improvements, including a second story of the residence and a balcony above the public area were approved in 1897.
Postal business was conducted in rented premises until their completion on the 20th September 1898.
