Hooks Mills, West Virginia
- Hooks Mills, West Virginia
Hooks Mills is an unincorporated community in Hampshire County, West Virginia, USA. It is located on Hooks Mill Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 13/3) which intersects Cacapon River Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 14) 4.5 miles south of Capon Bridge. Hooks Mills is named for the saw and grist mill on the Cacapon River run by Henson Hook in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A surviving photo of the mill, with Henson Hook in the foreground, dated 1903 bears witness to the owner and the era in which the mill was active. The mill also served as the community's post office, and the mill race served as a place where the local population harvested ice in the winter. Nothing remains of the mill, which was swept away in a flood in the early 20th century, but the traces of the mill race and a few scattered foundation stones. Today, Hooks Mills is served by the Yellow Spring post office.
