History

The unincorporated community within the historic Kanawha Salines area, was named after Plus Rand Levi, son of Mordecai Levi, patent holder of the Brick Road. Originally named “Plus” in 1907–1909 when large tract was purchased from Dickinson family. But due to a town already called plus, the community would become known as Levi until around the 1930s or 1940s where it would change again due to a town in Braxton county already named Levi, thus adopting the current name of Rand.
