History

A post office was established at Tiny in 1907, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1963.{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=VA&county=Dickinson&searchtext=&pagenum=3 | title=Dickenson County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=29 September 2014}} Tiny was likely a descriptive name for its diminutive size.{{cite book|last=Tennis|first=Joe|title=Southwest Virginia Crossroads: An Almanac of Place Names and Places to See|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=noiiZPTGk9IC&pg=PA11|year=2004|publisher=The Overmountain Press|isbn=978-1-57072-256-1|page=11}}{{cite book|last1=Moyer|first1=Armond|last2=Moyer|first2=Winifred|title=The origins of unusual place-names|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89058322223;view=1up;seq=136|year=1958|publisher=Keystone Pub.
