Do you know of Renick ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Renick. 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 Renick.<1>

Our sources for Renick (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 Renick other than they indicate that Renick would be found somewhere in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1913.
