History & local legend
The names Deer Lick Station Road and W&W Railroad Road preserve the history of a small stop on the Waynesburg & Washington Railroad. A nineteenth-century county history describes a traveler waiting two hours for a train at Deer Lick in the summer of 1882, using the interval to walk to nearby West Union Church.
The crossroads now has reports of apparitions and unexplained sounds. Its older identity as a railway stop is independently recorded in railroad histories and station surveys.
