RANDOLPH COUNTY & ITS COMMUNITIES

Randolph County has a rich history and its seven incorporated communities all have stories of their own to tell.   The City of Elkins is the population center of the county with just under 8,000 people.  In addition to the incorporated cities and towns, Randolph County has a host of communities that are unincorporated but contain unique character and sense of place.

Randolph County is the home of five U.S. Senators and two governors. The U.S. Senators were Henry G. Davis (D), 1871 to 1883; Stephen B. Elkins (R), 1891 to 1911; Davis Elkins (R), son of Stephen Elkins who finished his father‚s term then was himself elected in 1918 and served until 1924. Howard Sutherland (R) served from 1917 until 1923. Sen. Jennings Randolph (D) began his career in the House of Representatives then was elected to the Senate in 1959 and served until he retired from public service in 1959.

Herman Guy Kump (D) served as our 19th governor taking office in 1932. William Wallace Barron (D), our 26th governor, took office in 1960.
