Foltz, West Virginia

Foltz is an extinct town in Berkeley County, in the U.S. state of West Virginia.[1]

History

A post office called Foltz was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1907.[2] Reverend C. W. Foltz, an early postmaster, gave the community his family name.[3]

gollark: That seems nitpicky, the small stuff is still *mostly* irrelevant because you can lump it together or treat it as noise.
gollark: Why are you invoking the butterfly effect here?
gollark: That would fit with the general pattern of governments responding to bad things.
