West Virginia: Pie

N 41° 51.173' W 89° 12.008'

It seems too good to be true that a town called Pie would in fact be named after the classic dessert, but that’s just the case with this West Virginia community. In a 1945 book on the history of the state’s place names, the town’s then-postmaster said that the area was named for Leander Blankenship, a resident "who really like[d] pie, regardless of kind." And who could blame him?
