Armilda, West Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Armilda is an unincorporated community located approximately five miles south of the town of Wayne in Wayne County, West Virginia, USA. It was named for a woman named Armilda in the early 1900s. The one room Armilda Schoolhouse was located there. A Norfolk and Western Railway flag station on the rail line that ran to East Lynn was also once located there. When the East Lynn Lake was under construction in the 1960s, the graves in the immediate area were moved to a large cemetery constructed on the hill overlooking Armilda. The cemetery is named Community Memorial Gardens and is also commonly known as the "government cemetery."
