Thomas Dennis Waddill built a depot in 1889 about halfway between Walkertown and Walnut Cove on the Roanoke & Southern Railroad. Waddill, who owned 1700 acres in the area, also built a mansion nearby which was demolished in the 1990s. Waddill became known as The Earl of Dennis. The depot burned in the 1930s. A post office and store were once located in the community.[1]
