Pisgah is an unincorporated community in Preston County, West Virginia, United States.
Pisgah started as a small community known as Flat Rock.[1] In 1881, the Pisgah Methodist Church opened in the community and a post office and school came shortly after. Because they also shared the name "Pisgah," the community changed its name as well.[2]
