Bluefield, Mountain city in Mercer County, United States.
Located at an elevation of 795 meters in West Virginia, Bluefield extends across valleys and ridges of the Appalachian Mountains landscape.
The railroad industry shaped Bluefield's development during the late 19th century, establishing it as a central transportation hub in southern West Virginia.
The city maintains strong connections to Appalachian traditions through local music performances, craft exhibitions, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can access the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System directly from Bluefield, with multiple entry points for ATVs and hiking expeditions.
