Rupert WV689 Print E-mail
A post office was established here in 1889 and the village was incorporated in 1945. Named for Dr. Cyrus A. Rupert (1812-1891), a prominent local physician. The first settler here was William McClung (1738-1833) who came in 1766. A soldier in the revolution, he donated two acres of land for the area's first church at Otter Creek. He is buried in the church cemetery.
US 60 (westbound) one mile east of Rupert at roadside park Greenbrier County West Virginia.
