This is a list of West Virginia City Directories online and other West Virginia Directories. This includes West Virginia City Directories, Business Directories, Church Directories, & more. Many directories have gazetteers and gazetteers contain descriptions of towns, churches, terrain, populations, and more. They may include place names, maps, boundaries, and distances between cities.

City directories contain an alphabetized list of residents with their addresses, spouse’s names, professions, and often a reverse lookup by address. They often contain historical information about a locale and they’ll usually contain a separate business directory.
