Do you know of Kyger ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Kyger. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Kyger.<1>

Our sources for Kyger (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Kyger other than they indicate that Kyger would be found somewhere in Roane County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1955.
