West Virginia, the 35th state admitted into the Union, is known for its rugged landscape due to its entire land area being held inside the Appalachian Mountain range. For this reason, West Virginia has been dubbed “The Mountain State.” West Virginia is bordered by Ohio to the northwest, Pennsylvania and Maryland to the northeast, Virginia to the east and south, and Kentucky to the southwest.
Although one would think that West Virginia is quite large—considering it is known for tall mountains—the opposite is true; the state is only 41st in area in the country. Its population is not much higher, ranking 37th in U.S. total population. Charleston is the largest city in West Virginia, as well as the state’s capital. If you’re a fan of outdoor activities (white water rafting, fishing, hiking, and skiing to name a few), West Virginia is your kind of state.
