History

In 1908, a post office was established in the community and named Wilhoit after J. W. Wilhoit. In 1895, the post office had been named Arp after a storekeeper. A later postmaster changed the spelling to Willhoit.[3] The post office closed in 1974.[4]

gollark: The most used feature of my bot is the `++delete` command, which "deletes things", which actually means it just adds them to a searchable list of "deleted items".
gollark: That doesn't sound at all annoying.
gollark: Mine was mostly made for an esoteric programming languages Discord server, so it has an interface for TIO.run, a reminder system for some reason, a fortunes command, and a random number generator.
gollark: What do your bots do?
gollark: 407 here, apparently.
