Clearview, WV

Clearview is a small Ohio County village in the Wheeling metropolitan area, with 472 residents at the 2020 census. Its incorporated footprint covers only about four-tenths of a square mile, but the village remains a separate place in the upper Ohio Valley map. Wheeling lies about five and a half miles to the southwest, while Yorkville and Tiltonsville sit across the river in Ohio. That geography puts Clearview close to a larger city's services without folding the village into Wheeling itself.

Clearview's local story is mostly about scale and civic persistence. It has its own village government, a small residential footprint, and a place in Ohio County's list of villages alongside Bethlehem and Valley Grove. The Ohio County Public Library maintains a Clearview Village history file, while county pages connect the village to Wheeling Heritage, Oglebay, and the surrounding river communities. There is no long commercial strip to define the place; the useful reference points are the municipal line, nearby roads, and the larger Wheeling area around it. Clearview is a compact village with a metro address and a distinct name.
