Herold Herold - Herold is located on Birch River in Braxton County about 9.7 miles above where Birch empties into the Elk. It was established as a post office in 1891 by George A. Herold, a native of Nicholas County, who later represented Webster County in the West Virginia Legislature. Louis Johnson came to Herold in 1894 to work for George Herold. He was appointed postmaster in 1906 and served in that capacity until 1940, thus becoming Herold's best known resident. Herold is the last settlement found on Birch River on its journey through Webster, Nicholas and Braxton counties. |
