About Idamay

Tucked away in the hills of Marion County, West Virginia, Idamay is a quiet, close-knit community of about 500 residents. The town started in the early 1900s as a bustling coal camp named after Ida May Watson, the daughter of a coal company founder. In those early years, homes were built on-site or relocated from closed mines in Pennsylvania, giving the neighborhood a unique historic charm. Today, Idamay offers peaceful rural living with plenty of mountain scenery, all while keeping you within easy reach of everyday conveniences in nearby Fairmont.
