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.

Get the Adam westmug. Great area to live in. Close to everything: Rts. 1/128/95 a few minutes away. Malls, restaurants and everything else you could possibly want is all close by as well. Commute to Boston is about 20 minutes.
It borders Lynnfield and its property taxes are reasonable. Pretty much, it's the perfect place to live.
Pay no attention to the fool that wrote "Most of the people that live there are rich and snobby and like to flaunt their money". This is not true.
I've talked to many people that have lived there from day one (30 or 40 years) and they are the nicest people.
I grew up in Lynn and worked hard to make a living which allowed me to buy a house in West Peabody. These days, a lot of people buying houses in West Peabody are from Revere, Lynn, East Boston or other areas outside of Peabody.

Poor Girl from Lynn: I'm jealous and wish I could live in West Peabody.
West Peabody resident: What a great place to live!
