About Norton
Located just a few minutes west of Elkins along Corridor H, Norton is a quiet mountain community rooted in Randolph County's coal heritage. Built in the early 1900s as a company town, it has since settled into a peaceful, rural pocket framed by wooded hills. The local community church still anchors the neighborhood, and the historic street layout gives the area a distinct character. For anyone looking to relocate to the region, Norton offers affordable, laid-back country living with fast highway access to shopping, dining, and jobs in nearby Elkins.
