Beaver is a census-designated place (C.D.P.) in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States. The population was 1,308 at the 2010 census. [2]
Beaver first acquired its name circa 1860 “from the great numbers of beavers abounding in the creeks during the early days of settlement”, according to A History of Shady Spring District (1979), compiled by the Shady Spring District Woman's Club. When the community became eligible for a post office in the early 1900s, the residents discovered another West Virginia town already had the name. The town adopted the name "Oxley", after a Huntington man who ran a clothing store there. In 1929 or 1930, Grover Hedrick bought Ritter Lumber Company and had the community name changed to "Glen Hedrick." The residents petitioned the federal government for another name change and finally, the community was officially named Beaver in 1939.[ citation needed ]
