The 35th State admitted to the United States (on June 20, 1863). Its residents had petitioned for secession from Virginia in order to ally with the North in the American Civil War. President Lincoln signed it into statehood on the above date.
It is currently a state with a terrible economy based on coal and tourism. In terms of tourism, though, it has more to offer than one might expect.
Its electoral votes had gone to the Democratic candidate for decades prior to the 2000 election, and it has had two Democratic Senators and a Democrat as Governor for quite some time as well...so don't call it a "red state." That only proves that you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
For a quick, easy map of West Virginia, flip yourself off with your left hand. Extend your thumb to the side for the eastern panhandle. For slightly more accuracy, unfold one knuckle of your index finger.

a state in the united states of america. it is shaped like a middle finger, or a pineapple when turned a little bit.
west virginia split from virginia in 1863 and became a union state, thus its a middle finger to the confederacy.

A place filled with horrible accents, poverty, rednecks and country music. I should know. I live here.
