What do you love about Wayne County?
"I've lived here all my life. The people are very close-knit here. It has its problems, but every town does....I like walking down the street and hearing, 'Hi, Mrs. Linda.' Almost everyday that happens."
ORIGIN: Wayne County was established by the state of Virginia on Jan. 18, 1842. It and 43 other counties joined to form West Virginia on June 20, 1863. It's the westernmost county in what is now the state of West Virginia, and it was named in honor of Gen. "Mad Anthony" Wayne. The general is credited with making the region safe for a white settlement, after defeating the Shawnee Indians in the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
