Kodol is a small place located in Wetzel County, within the state of West Virginia in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger county.
How Kodol Got Its Name
Have you ever wondered how places get their names? Kodol has a unique story! This community was actually named after a type of medicine. The medicine was called "Kodol Dyspepsia Cure," which was a popular remedy for stomach problems back in the day. It's pretty interesting that a place would be named after a medicine, isn't it?
