Pocahontas County West Virginia was first
settled by English settlers in about 1750 when
Jacob Marlin and Stephen Sewell established
homes along the Greenbrier River. Prior to the
first Scotch-Irish and mix of Germans and Dutch
settlers, Pocahontas County was home to the
Seneca Indians as well as a few other small
tribes. The hunting lands that surround the
Alleghenies and the fertile lands that were
created by the various rivers that flow through
the area created an ideal place to call home.
Most of the region grew and expanded over
decades after the area’s railroad towns were
established along the main railroad routes that
passed through Pocahontas County WV. Today,
Pocahontas County remains filled with priceless
treasures and has more park lands and forests
than any other county in the state of West
Virginia. Over 60% of the 900 square miles that
comprise Pocahontas County are designated as
protected areas for state parks and federal
forest land.
More than one third of the Monongahela National
Forest stretches its way across Pocahontas
County through some 310,000 acres. Other parks
and forests such as the Watoga, the Seneca, and
Beartown State Park are protected, natural
resources of the area that can be enjoyed. In
addition to the well preserved lands, Pocahontas
County is also sometimes called the Birthplace
of Rivers as you can find the headwaters of 8
distinct rivers in Pocahontas County WV. The
rivers that form in Pocahontas County West
Virginia are the Cherry, Cranberry, Elk,
Gauley, Greenbrier, Tygart, Williams, and the
Shavers Fork of the Cheat. Escape to the West
Virginia wilderness and discover enchanting
Pocahontas County!
