Town of Wayne, WV

Town of Wayne, WV Wayne was established in 1842, by the same act of the Virginia General Assembly that created Wayne County. The county was named for General "Mad Anthony" Wayne.

The town was initially known by the name "Trout's Hill," after Abraham Trout, who donated the land upon which the county's courthouse was built. The Wayne Courthouse Post Office was established in 1842 also. The town was known simultaneously as Trout's Hill and Wayne Courthouse for many years. The town was incorporated in 1882 as Fairview, but was still commonly known as Wayne Courthouse. In 1891,

the Norfolk & Western Railroad was constructed up Twelve Pole Creek. The railroad placed the name "Wayne" on its schedule and the name caught on. The name was officially changed to Wayne in 1911.

Attention wayne water customers !!

We have a main line break on rt 37 at the Salem church. We will have to shut this line down for repairs, this will effect everyone from wayne up 37 to east lynn and everything in between, parts of 2 mile, newcomb, Peter cave, edds branch, Bob Napier road, East lynn, laural creek, anything on the east lynn pump station. This repair should only take few hours. You will be on a boil water advisory once service is restored.
