Wendel was associated with The Pittsburgh and Baltimore Coal Company's Edna No. 2 mine, which began operations in 1902. The company built houses for employees and a company store in Wendel. A sister mine, Edna No. 1, constructed in 1900, operated nearby. Both closed in the late 1930s.[2]

Wendel formerly had its own post office, established in April 24, 1908,[3][4] and zip code. The post office closed in February 2021.[5][6]
