Our Regions: How Tygart Valley Fits Into West Virginia
TygartValley.com represents a defined regional market within North-Central West Virginia. This page explains how the Tygart Valley connects into the broader statewide network and why it is treated as its own regional identity.
Why Tygart Valley Is a Region
The Tygart Valley functions as a shared travel and service market centered on the Tygart River corridor and the communities connected by U.S. Route 33, U.S. Route 250, and surrounding routes. Residents routinely cross county lines for work, healthcare, education, shopping, and everyday services.
Because these connections are consistent and repeatable, the Tygart Valley is treated as its own regional layer rather than being split apart by county boundaries.
Part of the Mountaineer Business Network
Tygart Valley is not a standalone system. It operates as a regional entry point into the larger Mountaineer Business Network, which organizes coverage across West Virginia by real-world travel behavior and service access.
Statewide visibility, category coverage, and cross-regional discovery are anchored through the main West Virginia hub: MountaineerBusinessNetwork.com .
How Regional Sites Work Together
The network is designed so that each region can stand on its own while still connecting into a larger statewide and cross-state map of real community behavior. Tygart Valley focuses on North-Central West Virginia travel patterns — while other regional markets are handled through their own dedicated hubs.

Regional Context Within West Virginia
The Tygart Valley overlaps with the broader North-Central West Virginia market, where residents routinely travel toward larger service hubs while still relying on local towns for daily needs. This layered structure allows communities to remain local while benefiting from regional reach.
Relationship to Ohio Valley Markets
While the Tygart Valley itself is a West Virginia region, it exists within a broader multi-state landscape. Ohio River markets are handled through MyOhioValley.com, which reflects the unique cross-river behavior and real-world connections into Ohio — supported at the state level by BuckeyeBusinessNetwork.com.
