Montgomery, WV

Montgomery sits right along the Kanawha River, tucked into the hills about thirty miles southeast of Charleston. Straddling the line between Fayette and Kanawha counties, this historic river town was shaped by rail, coal, and over a century as a college hub. Today, BridgeValley Community and Technical College maintains a presence here, anchoring a community that moves at a quiet, easygoing pace. For newcomers, Montgomery offers affordable small-town living with mountain scenery in every direction and simple highway access to both the state capital and the New River Gorge.
