Wyoming County, in southern West Virginia (WV), was established in 1850 and named for the Delaware phrase "maugh-wau-wa-ma," which may be applied to mean "mountains and valleys, alternating." Its county seat is at Pineville, on the Guyandotte River. Wyoming County has historically been an important coal mining region and is one of the most mountainous counties in the Cumberland Mountains region of southern West Virginia. The county is almost entirely forested, though many small farms are located throughout. As of the 2010 census, the population of Wyoming County was 23,796.
