I'm concerned that this may not be a notable location. Appears on the earliest topographic maps as a single building along the railroad tracks, and the label soon disappears from the maps. Appears in old railroad directories as Wilson's, but I couldn't find any significant coverage of this place as either a community or a railroad feature. This doesn't seem to be a notable place.

The GNIS record, the sole source here, itself comes from a 1906 map, it says. A 1920 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers map in The Ohio River has a Wilson Station on the railway on the east side of the river. Gannet's 1904 A Gazetteer of West Virginia has seven different Wilsons, a Wilsonburg, a Wilsondale, a Wilsonia, and a Wilson Knob, none of them even in the right county. The 1902 History of Wheeling City and Ohio County, West Virginia has too many people named Wilson to be useful. The same with Rice's and Brown's 1993 West Virginia: A History. Other than a railway station name, I have found nothing. Uncle G (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
