During the Civil War, the area that would become Scary, West Virginia was the site of the first Confederate victory in Kanawha Valley on July 17, 1861.[1][2] This is commemorated by two distinct plaques, very near to each other, in the town today.[3]

A post office was established as Scary in 1886,[4] and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1931.[5][6][7]
