A Brief History of Inwood, WV Inwood, WV has an enriching history that began in the 1880s with the arrival of the Cumberland Valley Railroad (CVRR) extension at South Berkeley County, West Virginia. It also marked the setting up of the famous Inwood Park resort on the property of the Strong family, one of the prominent residents of the region. Inwood Post Office and Park Inwood got its own post office on May 5th, 1890, paving the way for a village park to develop around it. The park also became the venue for the annual Inwood Fair attended by about 7,000 to 12,000 people each year from 1892 to 1913. Railroad Station Thanks to the grain elevator at the Inwood Station of The Cumberland Valley Railroad, Inwood became the point from where local agricultural produce was shifted to other places. Wood products, including bark used in tanning, railroad ties made in the western end of the town, and other products were also shipped using the CVRR from Inwood. The cargo traffic made sure that the profitability of Inwod station was among the highest in the CVRR circuit. How Inwood Got its Name Inwood's original name was Gerrard. Two stories about the town's naming are widely circulated. One version is that the town got its name from the local park located in the woods, hence In'wood' Park. The other version is that when the town's first post master, Jonathan Newton Thatcher applied to open a post office in Gerrard, the authorities found the name conflicting with another town 4 miles to the west (called Gerrardstown). This necessitated a name change. Thatcher chose the name "Inwood" from his cousin's address in Inwood, California. He requested Washington DC to alter the town's name from Gerrard to Inwood and allocated a new post office for it. Apple Production in Inwood Gray Silver, an influential local politician, established co-operative farming among the region's orchardists in the early 1900s. Apple was the primary crop in the region. The farmers preferred apples because of their extended shelf life and also because they could be transported without that much damage. Gray Silver also spearheaded the efforts to find numerous investors for setting up a commercial plant for apples at Inwood. The arrival of CH Musselman Company from Biglerville, Pennsylvania in the 1920s is attributed to Silver's efforts. The company decided to establish a plant for processing apples at Inwood. By the end of the 1920s, Inwood was home to the Musselman factory, a pioneer in its field and an expert in the production of applesauce.
