Odd is an unincorporated place in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States.[1] It is located along Tommy Creek. Only a post office is located there, with small residences spread along the nearby roads.
The community's unusual name has attracted attention from writers.[2] Townspeople were encouraged to think of an "odd" name for their town, hence the name.[3]
Odd went viral in 2020 when Mark Laita's YouTube channel, Soft White Underbelly, posted its first video of the Whittaker family, long-time residents of the small town who are inbred.[4]
