  1. HISTORY OF COURIER

  2. Where did the word “courier” come from? • “Courier” is a Latin derivative. It comes from the Latin word “currere”, which means “to run”. • Most couriers drive everywhere these days, which makes the original meaning of “courier” kind of obsolete. However, “to run” certainly applies to older delivery method. • In Ancient Rome, for example, the Cursus Publicusoperated with a network of couriers — or “runners” — that would run between two points to deliver a message or an item. Longer journeys required horseback riders instead to ensure the message was delivered in good time.

  3. Ancient couriers were even known to have established a relay system to improve delivery speed, whereby one rider would travel for a day or so with the message and hand it to another rider waiting at a checkpoint, who would set off as the first courier stopped to rest for the night. • It was essentially the earliest version of an express delivery service. • Perhaps the most famous example of couriers as “runners”, though, is in the legend of Pheidippides. • For those unfamiliar with the story, Pheidippides was a Greek messenger who ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the defeat of the Persians at the hands of the Spartans before collapsing and dying on the spot.
