Uneeda is an unincorporated community on the Pond Fork River in Boone County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The town lies along West Virginia Route 85. ==History== Uneeda humorously received its name after residents of the area came to F.C. Leftwich, a Madison attorney, with a petition for a post office to be named Jarrells Branch. This name was rejected by the United States Postal Service, who asked that another name be submitted. The petitioners found Mr. Leftwich tending a store for his father-in-law, Colonel Joel Stollings. While discussing a proposed name, one of them noticed a box of “Uneeda” crackers on the counter and jokingly surmised the name would probably not conflict with another post office name. The name was submitted and accepted. Uneeda's post office has been in operation since it was established in 1902.
