Odd is an unincorporated rural hamlet in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States. [2] It is located along Tommy Creek. Only a post office is located there, with small residences spread along the nearby roads.
The community's unusual name has attracted attention from writers. [3] Townspeople were encouraged to think of an "odd" name for their town, hence the name. [4]
Odd went viral in 2020 when Mark Laita's YouTube channel, Soft White Underbelly, posted its first video of the Whittaker family, long-time residents of the small town who are inbred. [5]
