Stiltner, West Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stiltner was a small unincorporated community that developed at the mouth of Brush Creek, a tributary of Twelvepole Creek, in Wayne County, West Virginia, United States. The community was originally known as Fry because of its association with the Fry family, but the name was changed to Stiltner in 1906. The small town prospered, as did its neighbor, East Lynn, during the coal boom of the early 20th century. Eventually the coal industry shut down and both towns began to decline. At its height, Stiltner was home to approximately 200 residents. In the 1960s, the construction of the East Lynn Lake resulted in the destruction of Stiltner.
