Oak Hill, WV is located in Fayette County and by the late 1960s it had grown into one of the 20 largest cities in West Virginia. Though the community retains a small-town character, it is largely composed of residential neighborhoods, many of which developed in the early 1900s around coal-mining operations. Today however, Oak Hill is primarily a service and commercial destination. Millions of people enjoy Fayette County, West Virginia, as a premier vacationland because it offers wild or mild adventure, unsurpassed natural wonders, small town atmosphere and better quality of life. For those reasons many visitors choose to return and relocate here. Fayette County offers clean air, pure water, churches of all denominations, low cost of living taxes and the safest state in the USA.

Many of the best known attractions in West Virginia are located in the Oak Hill area, including the New River Gorge Bridge, which offers everything from unique shops and restaurants to the best in outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, climbing, whitewater rafting and horseback riding. The Bridge Day Festival in October is a fall classic that gets better every year and brings visitors in from around the country and across the globe. With spectacular views from the deck or underneath the New River Gorge Bridge, this is a must-experience event.
