Pocahontas, city in Arkansas, United States
Pocahontas is a city in Randolph County, West Virginia. The town sits in a valley and features the typical layout of a small American industrial town, with local shops and services spread along its main thoroughfare.
The city developed in the second half of the 1800s as a coal mining settlement during the extraction of coal resources in the Appalachian region. Mining shaped the town's growth and economy for many decades.
