About Mason
Mason, sometimes known locally as Mason City, sits along a scenic bend of the Ohio River in Mason County, West Virginia. Originally settled in the 1850s, the community grew quickly thanks to the river trade, salt wells, and manufacturing that powered the area during its early industrial days. Today, it offers a quiet, small-town pace where the river valley provides a peaceful everyday backdrop.
Historic homes and relaxed residential streets give the town a grounded, welcoming feel. Daily life here is simple and convenient, with Route 62 linking residents to nearby Point Pleasant for shopping and services, while local bridges offer quick access across the river into Ohio. For anyone considering a move, Mason delivers an affordable, tight-knit setting rooted in Appalachian river heritage.
