West Virginia | Deep In The Hollers of Appalachia

Описание: Deep in the Hollers of the Appalachian Mountains sits so many forgotten places. Not that long ago, these areas were thriving with businesses, coal companies, and familes all over the area. Today, its a mere shell of what used to be. I went WAY into the hills of West Virginia and I found this poverty stricken but beautiful holler in Covel. Here's what I saw...

Covel is located in Wyoming County, WV. Its population is around 112 people, a 34.9% growth since last year in 2023. It's known for having a well engineered railroad trestle, built by the Virginian Railway. Main transported item was coal from the local areas to ports in Norfolk. Many of the coal camp homes are abandoned at this point. The post office is only open from 830am to 1030pm except for Saturdays which is 1130am to 130pm, and it is one of the smallest post offices in the country.
