About Selma
Sitting right along the Jackson River just east of Clifton Forge, Selma is a quiet community nestled in Virginia's Alleghany Highlands. With only a few hundred residents, it has a relaxed, rural feel surrounded by mountain scenery. Daily life is simple and peaceful, with locals making the quick two-minute drive into Clifton Forge for groceries, dining, and local events. The area also has deep roots, home to the 1847 Oakland Grove Presbyterian Church, the county's oldest standing church. It makes for a cozy, low-key spot to settle down in western Virginia.
