About Auburn

Auburn is a quiet, close-knit rural community in the hills of Ritchie County, West Virginia. With fewer than 100 residents across roughly a third of a square mile, the town offers a slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by scenic countryside. First settled in the early nineteenth century along Bone Creek, Auburn has deep Appalachian roots centered around family homesteads, historic churches, and quiet mountain roads. It is an ideal spot for anyone seeking privacy, open land, and a peaceful escape from busy city life.
