About West Virginia
West Virginia is a landlocked US state and the only one that is entirely within the Appalachian Mountain region of the central-eastern US mainland.
West Virginia borders Pennsylvania in the north, Virginia in the east, and Kentucky in the southwest. The Ohio River forms the border with Ohio in the east, and the Potomac river creates a section of the state’s border with Maryland.
West Virginia consists of 55 counties. Its nickname is “The Mountain State.”
The territory of West Virginia was originally part of the British Virginia Colony, which later became the state of Virginia.
West Virginia was separated from Virginia during the American Civil War (1861) and admitted to the Union as a separate state on 20th June 1863, as the 35th state.
