Switchback had its own high school in operation from 1923 to 1953. The community's name most likely refers to the shape of nearby railroad tracks.[2] The James Ellwood Jones House and Pocahontas Fuel Company Store were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[3] References1. ^{{gnis|1555770}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Kenny|first=Hamill|title=West Virginia Place Names: Their Origin and Meaning, Including the Nomenclature of the Streams and Mountains|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015009099824;view=1up;seq=640;size=125|year=1945|publisher=The Place Name Press|location=Piedmont, WV|page=616}} 3. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} External links
