About Hendricks

Tucked into a scenic mountain valley in Tucker County, West Virginia, Hendricks is a quiet riverside town home to fewer than 400 people. The community sits right where the Blackwater River and the Dry Fork meet to form the Black Fork of the Cheat River. That waterside setting gives the town a peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by wooded hills and dramatic Appalachian scenery that shifts with every season.

Black Fork Hendricks West Virginia

The area was first settled in 1803 under the name Eden before being officially incorporated in 1894 during the region's timber boom. Today, Hendricks maintains a close-knit, easygoing rhythm centered around outdoor recreation and river life. It is an appealing spot for newcomers looking for fresh mountain air and quiet rural living, all within an easy drive of the shops, dining, and hiking trails in nearby Thomas, Davis, and Parsons.
