Summersville Sees Industrial Awakening On Coal Rich County
Summersville grows from farming seat to potential coal hub as Nicholas County’s huge reserves in the Webster Pocahontas field draw attention. Real estate booms, housing rises, and new businesses emerge while population may double in five years. The town, founded 1820, holds deep roots with historic court, schools, and the Chronicle weekly, amid aging infrastructure and a shift toward urban growth.
