Wyoming County, County in West Virginia, United States
Wyoming County is an administrative division in West Virginia characterized by mountainous terrain and river valleys. The landscape is shaped by water systems that flow through the region, creating varied natural features.
The county was established in 1850 from parts of Logan County and subsequently followed Virginia's division when West Virginia became a separate state in 1863. This transition reshaped the region's administrative boundaries.
The Methodist church in Wyoming County functions as a central gathering place for religious services and community activities throughout the region.
Pineville, the county seat, serves as the main hub for administrative services and visitor information. The area is best explored by car due to its dispersed communities and mountainous layout.
The county's name comes from a Lenape word meaning large plains, yet the region is predominantly mountainous terrain. This contrast reflects how the landscape was perceived by the indigenous people who named it.
