Webster County

Webster County is located in central West Virginia.  The population in 2010 was 9,154 and the county seat is Webster Springs (formerly known as Addison).  Coal and lumber were the major industries in the early 1900s, but both have slowed in the past 30-40 years.  

 

Major cities in Webster County include Cowen, Camden-On-Gauley, and Webster Springs.  There was a large sign for Webster Springs (an actual warm-water spring) at the train station in the town of Addison.  After many years, since it was known as the “Webster Springs station”, the town adopted that name.
