the Silver Memorial Bridge, just south of the village, has carried passengers across the Ohio to Kanauga and Gallipolis. U.S. Route 35 used to run through the center of Henderson, but it has since been diverted into the hills south of the Kanawha, and connects directly with the Silver Memorial Bridge. Although there are no other towns, Clendenin District includes a number of unincorporated communities. The village of Gallipolis Ferry sits at the base of the hills in the westernmost part of the district. From here, a ferry once carried passengers across the Ohio to the city of Gallipolis. More recently, the village has been the site of a chemical plant, formerly owned by Dutch paint and chemical manufacturer AkzoNobel. The village of Beale, site of a post office from 1902 to 1916, as well as Beale School, has largely disappeared into Gallipolis Ferry. Redmond is a small village in the northern hills of the district, on Redmond Ridge between the upper waters of Salt Creek and the boundary with Arbuckle District. It was the site of a post office from 1886 to 1913, when the mail was redirected to Henderson. Further south along Redmond Ridge is the village of Wyoma, above the upper waters of Crab Creek, flowing southwest to the Ohio, and Upper Fivemile Creek, flowing northeast toward the Kanawha in Arbuckle District. Wyoma was the site of a post office from 1884 to 1916. The former villages of Caddie and Fay lay on the upper waters of the Righthand Fork of Crab Creek. Both received post offices in 1903; Caddie's was discontinued in 1913, and Fay's in 1916. Later, Mohrtown was located on a different branch of the Righthand Fork. Ben Lomond sits at the base of the hills at a narrow point in the river bottom, where Mud Run turns northward on its way to join Crab Creek. About a mile south of Ben Lomond is Hogsett, near the mouth of Flatfoot Creek. The village was named for Charles W. Hogsett, its first postmaster, in 1885. Ben Lomond received its post office in 1886, and for a while the U.S. Post Office Department wavered between which village should keep one. Ben Lomond's post office closed permanently in 1919, while Hogsett's remained until 1967. Arlee and Pondlick are villages on the upper waters of Ohio Sixteenmile Creek. Arlee had a post office from 1890 to 1955; Pondlick from 1900 to 1919. Apple Grove, West Virginia is a village on the broad river bottom in the southern part of Clendenin District, and it straddles the boundary between Clendenin and Hannan Districts. The village received its first postmaster in 1872, and is home to a sizable chemical plant, formerly owned by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Roads and transportation There are two highways in Clendenin District: West Virginia Route 2, known locally as "Huntington Road", runs along the Ohio River from Huntington to Point Pleasant, crossing the Kanawha River at Henderson. U.S. Route 35 follows the Kanawha River from Teays Valley to Henderson, where it crosses the Ohio into Gallia County, continuing northwest to Chillicothe. Other important routes include Crab Creek Road, County Route 29, and Redmond Ridge Road, County Route 25. Crab Creek Road follows the Righthand Fork of Crab Creek, and continues into the hills to Arlee, on the eastern side of the district. Crab Creek Road then enters Arbuckle District, where it travels around and through the Chief Cornstalk Wildlife Management Area on its way to Southside, in the Kanawha Valley, following the course of Little Sixteenmile Creek during its descent out of the hills.
