History

A general store, trading post, mill, blacksmith, school, and church were established just after the Civil War by James Milton Wall and his wife Mildred James. They named the community Faith, which later grew into a town. Wall, called "Black Jim" because of his dark features, left Montgomery, Virginia to go 'west".
A post office called Faith was established in 1900, and remained in operation until 1907.
