Romney
One of the two oldest towns in West Virginia, Romney was established in 1762 along the South Branch Potomac River, with the Appalachian highlands close by. The county seat of Hampshire County, it holds a striking number of churches for a small town, and its riverside setting gives it a distinct character among the region's historic settlements.
