The whole state of West Virginia is pretty hilly. And well, they don’t call it the Mountain State for nothing. You’ve got the Appalachians running through it, with valleys, forests, and rivers all over the place.
In terms of people, Kanawha County is the most populous county in the state. It’s home to Charleston, the state capital and largest city. Otherwise, there’s Wirt County with lowest population. This county tucked away in the west, mostly rural with rolling hills and farmland.

Randolph County is the largest county, covering about 1,040 square miles. It has a big chunk of the Monongahela National Forest, so there’s plenty of room for hiking and camping. The smallest county is Hancock County, way up in the northern panhandle. It’s only about 83 square miles, but it makes up for it with some Ohio River frontage.
Largest Area: Randolph County
Smallest Area: Hancock County
