Every town has a first chapter, and Pinch is no exception. Pinch is named for Pinch Creek, which was first called Pinch Gut Creek. Ellie Teaford of the Elk Valley Branch Library said early settlers named it during a hard time, when food was scarce and they were feeling a pinch in their gut. Neighboring Quick is named for the Quick family. A former Pinch Elementary School student recalled that saying the school's name out loud would get you pinched. That's from the West Virginia Public Broadcasting newsroom.
