Explore Jenkinjones, WV
Jenkinjones is a small town located in McDowell County, West Virginia. Once a thriving coal mining community, it now stands as a ghost town with a rich history. Founded in the early 20th century, the town was named after the Jenkins family who owned the local coal mines. At its peak, Jenkinjones had a population of over 1,000 residents and boasted amenities such as a school, a company store, and a post office. However, with the decline of the coal industry, the town slowly dwindled, and today only a few abandoned buildings remain as a reminder of its past glory.
