The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The Kanawha Saline(s) post office was established in 1814 and discontinued in 1879. The community changed its name to Malden, establishing Malden PO in 1879; it closed in 1961. This probably means that Malden became a Rural Branch of Charleston in 1961. The present name most likely is derived from Malden, Massachusetts.
