Island Branch is a small, quiet place located in Kanawha County, West Virginia, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own separate local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger Kanawha County.

What's in a Name?

Island Branch got its name from a special feature nearby. There was once a small island in a river close to where the community first started. This island gave the area its unique name, "Island Branch."
