West Virginia A Guide to the Mountain State page 338 explains that Petersburg was settled about 1745 by German colonists, and named for Jacob Peterson, who opened the first general store. In 1833, when it obtained a post office, its name was changed to Lunice Creek, because there was already one Petersburg in Virginia. After West Virginia attained statehood in 1863, its original name was restored.
