West Union, WV (West Virginia), the county seat of Doddridge County, was incorporated in 1881. A village on the opposite bank of Middle Island Creek had been known as Union when the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad established a station in 1857, after which the village that developed became known as West Union. The community is a drive of more than 200 miles north of Union, in southern West Virginia, a community with which it is unrelated. The North Bend Rail Trail follows the former route of the B&O through the town.
