Gassaway, WV

Set along a scenic bend of the Elk River in Braxton County, Gassaway is a quiet, easygoing West Virginia community shaped by its railway roots. The town grew up around the tracks in the early 1900s, and you can still see that heritage today around the historic Gassaway Depot. Everyday spots like the post office, town hall, and local businesses sit just above the old rail line, with streets following the natural curve of the water. For anyone looking for a peaceful small-town setting with plenty of riverside charm in the center of the state, Gassaway makes settling in feel simple.
