The Commemorative Quarter for Virginia







Welcome to Faye ...

So far, we found very little information about Faye. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Faye to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Faye - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Faye, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Faye , we believe that it would have been located within present day Prince Edward County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Faye, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1901.

Time Zone: The area where Faye was located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time

Communities Also Named Faye ...

Using our Gazetteer, we found another community named Faye - it's located in Kentucky.

Adding Faye to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Faye was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Faye post office opened in 1901.

We also found Faye on a map titled Rand McNally Map of Virginia (1911).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Faye, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Virginia's counties, including Prince Edward, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
