Appears on the 1906, 1924, and 1926 topos as a building at a road junction. Searching is very difficult, due to the commonness of the name Scott. Searching determined that Winfield N. Scott was appointed postmaster at Scott in 1898 and still held the post in 1901, but couldn't find much else. Does not appear to be in Leavengood's history of Wood County.

Delete The mass-produced junk one-liners created by this user who made such classics as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monkey Box, Florida, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cream Can Junction, Idaho, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camel Hump, Wyoming should be bulk-deleted or redirected due to their lack of demonstrated notability or verifiability, with sourced recreation welcome. No one's time should continue to be wasted to clean up this mess and no one should continue to be misled by untrustworthy information. Many thanks though to Hog Farm and other admins for continuing on this sisyphean task. Reywas92^Talk 08:01, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I would have said Herculean rather than Sisyphean. But I probably shouldn't have put the idea of the Augean stables into your head. That was paid, anyway. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  Haha I suspected that wasn't the right word as I wrote it, gotta lean back to mythology in high school Latin class! Reywas92^Talk 17:45, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I concur on Leavengood. Gannet's 1904 A Gazetteer of West Virginia has Scott as a "post village in Wood County on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Altitude, 694 feet.". This village seems lost to history otherwise. Nothing in the Encyclopedia of West Virginia. The existence of Winfield Scott makes things hard, too. Uncle G (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
