As of 1898, the railway station here on the M&C Railroad (later B&O Railroad's "South Branch") was known as Vaughn's Station.[3] The Banner Post Office was established on April 12, 1881 and discontinued on November 14, 1903. Mail service was then handled through the Clay branch until its discontinuation in 1912. Mail service is currently handled through the Oak Hill branch.[4][5]
