Big Bend (shown as Bigbend on federal maps) is an unincorporated community in Calhoun County, West Virginia, United States. It lies along West Virginia Route 5 northwest of the town of Grantsville, the county seat of Calhoun County, along the Little Kanawha River.[1] Its elevation is 682 feet (208 m).[2] It has a post office with the ZIP code 26136.[3]
Big Bend was previously known as Brooksville, in honor of Preston Brooks, pro-slavery representative from South Carolina, who attacked and seriously injured Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner. At that time it was the county seat.[4] At the end of the Civil War, and West Virginia's separation from Virginia, it was replaced by a new county seat with the name of Union General Ulysses S. Grant.
