Okay, okay I give up. We have some small towns that have characteristics of small cities. Fortunately, they don't have the negative characteristics of the larger ones. I much prefer to live in my town and take a day trip to a large city in those fairly rare situations where that is necessary. But, I sure wouldn't want to live there.

Some of these are in the wrong order:


1) Harpers Ferry (No where else like it beyond the East Coast. Virtually unchanged since the 19th century. Steeped in history. Lots of interesting things in one place.)

2) New Vrindaban ("The Land of Krishna")

3) Point Pleasant (Mothman)

4) White Sulphur Springs (fallout bunker for US Government)

5) Newell (Fiestaware)

6) Flatwoods ("Home of the Green Monster")

7) Williamstown (Fenton glass)

8) Ansted (Mystery Hole)

9) Talcott (I think John Henry was from there)

10) Lake Shawnee (abandoned haunted amusement park)

Thread Title: Rank Your Top 10 "small" WV towns!

I'm still debating whether Elkins is 'small enough'.

I think Elkins would fit, but it is still an engine for that area though.

I'm am so tired of taliking about "WV Cities" that I thought it would be a nice change of pace to reboost this thread.

Our state has been blessed to have some of America's best small towns, and I think that there are so many that have so much potiential.

My new top 10 WV towns (population less than 10,000)

In Order:
1.) Clendenin---bias
2.) Lewisburg---speaks for itself
3.) Elkins---^same
4.) Harpers Ferry---very beautiful, historic, and charming
5.) Buckhannon---cool, interesting, clean
6.) Moorefield---same reason as 4
7.) Charles town---modern but historic, classy, and close to DC
8.) Davis/Thomas/Canaan Valley---In the middle of the best part of WV
9.) Cass/snowshoe (not really a town)--- same as 4 and 6
10.) Williamstown--- charming and quiet
