West Virginians still value family and community. For more than
25 years, our crime rate has been among the lowest in the
nation. We embrace the traditions of the Appalachian culture
and endeavor always to build new ways of life. Business, social
and personal opportunities abound in this region rich in
history, beauty and charm.
Charleston, the capital city of "Wild Wonderful West Virginia,"
is located in the Southwestern portion of the state. Metro
Charleston, which includes Kanawha and Putnam Counties, offers
big city style with the warmth and ease of a small town. The
Charleston Symphony, museums, shopping and theaters
featuring nationally known performances, are a few of the
attractions you will find in the metro valley.
Recreational opportunities are a major part of the excellent
quality of life enjoyed by residents of the Kanawha Valley.
Kanawha Forest offers horseback riding, swimming, camping and
hiking. Each summer, many can be seen boating and fishing in
the Kanawha and Elk rivers. For a real West Virginia adventure,
try skiing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking and sport
fishing at facilities and resorts within convenient driving
distance of the Charleston Region.
Our rolling hills and country roads result in small, friendly
communities where nearly everybody knows your name. Creativity,
innovation and yes, even eccentricity, are nurtured in this
corner of the Appalachian Region. The Mountain State is a place
where dreams, however wild or wonderful, are realized. And
Charleston is the center of it all.
