About Boomer

Tucked along the Kanawha River in Fayette County, Boomer is a quiet West Virginia community of around 600 people. Originally built around the early 20th-century coal industry, it now offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere framed by wooded hills. Residents enjoy easy access to neighboring spots like Montgomery and Kanawha Falls, along with quick drives to outdoor recreation in the New River Gorge area. It is a slow-paced, scenic spot to settle down if you appreciate mountain views and close neighbors.
