The valley referred to by “Teays Valley” is a portion of the remains of the pre-glacial Teays River. Geologist William G. Tight (1865–1910) named the preglacial Teays River after Teays, which lies in the “riverless” Teays Valley that once was the bottom of the river. Today, the valley’s water is shed through a number of creeks which empty into the Kanawha and Mud rivers.
