I was in West Virginia myself recently, and heard of a case where a
local calling area was expanded because of a problem involving a
school.  The Philip Barbour High School is on U.S. 250 between
Belington (304-823) and Philippi (304-457).  Calls between these 2
prefixes used to be toll (that is beyond my memory), and the school
had a Philippi number, resulting in a long distance call for students
from areas served by Belington exchange.
