Canvas is an unincorporated community in Nicholas County, West Virginia, United States. Canvas is located on West Virginia Route 39, 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Summersville. Canvas has a post office with ZIP code 26662.
Canvas was originally named Earl but the residents of the area were not fond of the name. Around 1910, Charles William “Bill” Bryant owned a general store and was selling canvas gloves which were a huge hit with the community. At that point, residents held a meeting and it was decided that they would rename the community to Canvas.
