Cabell County, West Virginia
Cabell County is in the western part of West Virginia, right along the Ohio River. Huntington is the big city here, home to the world-class Huntington Museum of Art. Marshall University also puts Cabell County on the map.
The county has its share of challenges, but it’s fighting back. There’s a real push for new industries, and the riverfront is getting a facelift. Camden Park, the state’s only amusement park, is here too. It’s old school, but that’s part of the charm.
Barboursville has some great shopping and a vibe all its own. Cabell County is a place that’s looking to the future while honoring its past. Who’d expect that in little old West Virginia?
