Shively is an unincorporated community located on the Smokehouse Fork of Big Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, United States.
Early settlers of Smokehouse and Buck forks include members of these families: Butcher, Bryant, Conley, Dingess, Elkins, Farley, Hensley, Lambert, Mullins, and Tomblin.
Key events of the Lincoln County Feud occurred at the homes of Henderson and Hugh Dingess on Smokehouse Fork in 1889.
At that time, the lower section of Smokehouse Fork was included in Lincoln County.
Later, the name appears in the lower section of Smokehouse Fork at Wolfpen Branch where the final post office building stands today.
[6] The 1925–1926 West Virginia Educational Directory lists a few teachers with Shively addresses: Ina Adams, Anna Butcher, and Lester H.
In the late twentieth century, a coal mine operated on Browns Run of Smokehouse Fork.
