Ed Gwinn was the first postmaster around 1907.

The town of Lockbridge was named after his father, Lockridge GWINN. The Post Office Department spelled the name wrong and added a "B" making it Lockbridge.

Before Lockbridge had a Post Office, the residents there had to receive their mail at Meadow Creek, WV.

The first piece of registered mail at Lockbridge was addressed to Mrs. Rosa Holsted, received on 16 DEC 1907 and delivered on 17 DEC 1907.
