Elizabeth is the Wirt County seat on the Little Kanawha River, one of West Virginia's smallest county seats in one of the state's least-populated counties, where land clearing demand centers on modest rural residential development on creek valley and hillside terrain, agricultural land management in this quiet Little Kanawha watershed community, and the occasional commercial activity serving Wirt County's small population.
