Pleasants County, West Virginia

Pleasants Location Map West Virginia

Pleasants County is a small piece of West Virginia with a big heart. You’ll find it along the Ohio River in the northwestern part of the state. It’s not a tourist hotspot, and that’s part of its charm.

Fishing and boating are popular here. The county’s history is tied to oil and gas, but today it’s all about community. Locals gather for high school football games and county fairs.

St. Marys, the county seat, has a quaint main street that feels like a step back in time. It’s where everyone knows their neighbors. Simple pleasures rule here.
