National Coal Heritage Area Address: Coal Heritage Highway Authority PO Box 5176 Beckley, WV 25801 Phone: 304-256-6941; Fax: 304-256-6994; Web: www.coalheritage.org Established: Authorized on November 12, 1996. Location: 11 counties in southern West Virginia. Special Features: The cultural geography here has been profoundly influenced over the last 125 years by the pervasive role of the coal mines. The communities in these 11 counties reflect their origins as "company towns" formed by local traditions, waves of immigrant workers, and the dominance of the mining companies. Ethnic neighborhoods and the physical infrastructure of the mines are still clearly seen throughout the region. See other parks in West Virginia. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
