Staves was known locally as the "Y" Community, because State Route 212 created a "Y" where it intersected State Route 35, with connectors leading both north and south from State Route 212's east–west direction. The road has since been modified and a third stretch of road has been added to connect State Route 212 at a 90-degree angle to State Route 35.
