Coketon is an unincorporated community and coal town in Tucker County, West Virginia, United States.

Coketon lies at the confluence of Snyder Run and the North Fork Blackwater River, south of the town of Thomas.

During each year from 1915 to 1921, the 15 mines near Coketon shipped over 1 million tons of coal, making it the sixth most productive operation in West Virginia at the time.

The case started in the Tucker County Courthouse in Parsons, and eventually reached the West Virginia Supreme Court.

Their eventual victory in court was the first civil rights case in the history of the United States to determine discrimination on the basis of color to be illegal.
