==History==
1769, Major Wm. Renick form Augusta County, Virginia settled on an entry of 1,000 acres in the northern area of Greenbrier County; an area sixteen miles north of Lewisburg known as Falling Spring (Renick). This is known as the founding of Renick. Spring Creek Presbyterian Church was established in 1783 making it one of the three oldest churches east of the Mississippi. The first pastor of the church was Rev. John McCue. The original site of the church was in Spring Creek about two and a half miles South of Renick. The Renick High school was established in 1796. In 1928 the public school system established local schools with staffed educators hence came Renick High School, now known as the Renick Jr. High School building and still sits on its original site. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad was built around 1900 and passed through the center of the town along the Greenbrier River. In 1901, Pitts and Colley built a large store next to the railroad depot and many businesses followed. And the railroad is now the Greenbrier River Trail. The Bank of Renick was established in 1909 with the Rev. J.S. Wickline as the first and only president. The bank at one time was considered one of the best banks in the Greenbrier Valley. Today the bank is no longer operational. The post office of Falling Spring was established in the early part of the 1800s. The name of Falling Spring was changed to Renick in 1913 by the postal service, due to confusion with the mail service with the community of Falling Springs, Virginia. Today, the post office is still in service and delivers mail not only to the town of Renick, but to the surrounding communities of Auto and Friars Hill.
