Mingo County, West Virginia

Mingo Location Map West Virginia

Mingo County is deep in the heart of coal country. It’s tucked away in the southwestern corner of West Virginia. Williamson, the county seat, was once known as the “Heart of the Billion Dollar Coalfield”. That’s some serious cash.

The county has a wild history. But these days, you can ride ATVs on the Hatfield-McCoy Trails. The Tug Fork River winds through the county. Fishing, anyone?

Mingo County is working hard to diversify its economy. Tourism is a big part of that. The Coal House in Williamson is worth a visit. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Yep, it’s a house made of coal. There are coal festivals here to celebrate the county’s mining heritage. Good food, music, and small-town charm. What’s not to love?
