Wayne County, West Virginia

Wayne Location Map West Virginia

Wayne County hugs the western edge of West Virginia, bordering Kentucky and Ohio. The Big Sandy River and the Ohio River shape its boundaries.

Cabwaylingo State Forest is pure outdoor adventure. Hunting deer is practically a holiday. Summers can be sticky, but that’s what swimming holes are for. Fall brings Friday night lights and high school football fever.

The county has deep roots. It was founded back in 1842. It’s coal country, with a proud mining heritage. Wayne, the county seat, is small but full of character. People here are down-to-earth and always ready to lend a hand.
