Glenwood, Oakvale, Elgood, Hatcher and Kellysville are rural communities in the hills and valleys around Princeton, in southern West Virginia’s Appalachian setting. The area has four distinct seasons, wooded slopes and open stretches along local roads. Outdoor time often means exploring nearby countryside, with hiking and fishing opportunities in the broader region; Princeton’s parks provide additional green space and recreation. Local dining and coffee options are modest, while Princeton offers more places to eat, browse shops and catch community events. The area’s heritage is tied to the region’s coal and railroad history, and local landmarks and historic sites add context to that past. Driving is the most practical way to connect the scattered communities, reach services in Princeton and travel along the region’s main highways; public transit options are limited.
