Dayhoit is an unincorporated community in Harlan County, Kentucky, United States.

[2] Dayhoit is also known as Wilhoit, and its odd double name has a complicated history.

A post office named for the Day family was here first, but Roy Wilhoit, a coal operator, insisted the railroad use his name for the new station.

After an extended controversy, the Post Office Department decided in 1930 to compromise and call the office Dayhoit.
