History
A post office opened on the Wetzel County side at Vincen in 1890, where it remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1913.[2] The community derives its name from Vincent Amos, an early settler.[3] In Kenny Hamill's book he mistakenly listed Vincent as a Merett, because of a misplaced comma in John C. McEldowney's 1901 History of Wetzel County.
