I was in West Virginia myself recently, and heard of a case where a local calling area was expanded because of a problem involving a school. The Philip Barbour High School is on U.S. 250 between Belington (304-823) and Philippi (304-457). Calls between these 2 prefixes used to be toll (that is beyond my memory), and the school had a Philippi number, resulting in a long distance call for students from areas served by Belington exchange.
