Laneville, West Virginia

Laneville, also known locally as Lanesville, is an unincorporated community in Tucker County, West Virginia, United States.

It lies on Red Creek (a tributary of Dry Fork of Cheat River) along the southern border of the Dolly Sods Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest.

In 1902, the Parsons Pulp and Lumber Company installed a new band saw mill on Red Creek.

[1] The community was named for Martin Lane, one of four incorporators of the Dry Fork Lumber Company.

Saloon patrons had no difficulty, however, walking the short distance down the railroad tracks to the Wyoming Lumber Company settlement, established in 1907, where such businesses were allowed to flourish.
