Friendly, WV

Set right along the Ohio River in Tyler County, Friendly is about as quiet as river living gets. With around 100 residents directly across the water from Ohio, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle where neighbors all know each other. The town got its name back in the 1800s from a local settler named Friend Williamson, and gardeners might recognize it as the birthplace of the famous Friendly heirloom tomato. If you are looking for ultra-small-town seclusion with river views, Friendly delivers a relaxed slice of rural West Virginia.
