 Located on the headwaters of Robinson Run, about a mile and a quarter southeast of White Church, the community of Board takes its name from Oldtown-Board Baptist Church, itself named after Andrew Board, who came to Mason County from Wirt County after the Civil War, and helped establish a church in the little valley below Upper Flats.Board preferred the name "Oldtown" after Oldtown Creek, of which Robinson Run is a tributary, but over his objections the congregation insisted on adding his name to the church.Debby, on the Kanawha River below Tenmile Creek, was the site of a post office, and the Beech Hill station of the Kanawha & Michigan Railway, opposite Beech Hill in Arbuckle District.
