Garretts Bend is an unincorporated community on the Trace Fork of the Mud River in northeastern Lincoln County, West Virginia, United States.[1] It lends its name to the United States Geological Survey's "Garretts Bend" Quadrangle.[2] The village is spread out above an eastward bend of the Trace Fork, where the Hayzlett Fork meets the Williams Fork.Шаблон:Efn-lr[1][2] Garretts Bend Road (County Highway 5) runs through the village on its route from Griffithsville to Sod, and meets Toney Branch Road (County Highway 58) just above the bend.[3] To the east along Garretts Bend Road is the Garretts Bend Community Center, while the Garrett Cemetery sits upon a hilltop overlooking the same highway to the southwest.[3]

A 1909 topographical survey map shows about a dozen structures spread out along the creek and its various tributaries, including a church on the south side of Garretts Bend Road just west of where the highway crosses the Hayzlett Fork.[1] In 1933, a similar number of structures is located in the same vicinity, although some of those from 1909 no longer exist. The church is gone, but a schoolhouse sits on a point of land surrounded by the bend.[1] The schoolhouse is still there in 1958 and 1978, and Elizabeth Church is located near the site of the 1909 church.Шаблон:Efn-lr[2] The Garretts Bend Post Office [4] was established in 1876, and maintained until 1965, when it was discontinued, and the mail redirected to Hamlin.[5]
