Barbour County, West Virginia has one of the most unique and diversified business climates in America. This region, rich in Civil War history, hosts businesses ranging from Appalachian hardwoods to technology, innovation, and manufacturing. These businesses combine to support a thriving economy. The county offers an excellent educational base to support family-centered activities and many students, both local and international, attend Alderson Broaddus University, located at the county seat in Philippi.
