History

Bunnlevel was originally named "Bunn's Level" after a local resident Joseph Bunn who established the first Post Office April 6, 1846.

Another incorporation movement here failed in 1961.[4] Early prominent families included Elliott, McDougald, McNeill, McLean, Walker, Spears, Buie, Bunn, Byrd, Chance, Thomas, Hobbs and Hicks.

Thorbiskope was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[5]
