Glenville is the Gilmer County seat on the Little Kanawha River and the home of Glenville State University, where land clearing demand reflects the small mountain university town's character, including residential development on the hillside terrain surrounding the river valley campus, commercial activity serving the county seat, and rural property management in the forested Appalachian terrain of Gilmer County. Gilmer County terrain is defined by the Little Kanawha River valley and the steep Appalachian hillsides that rise from the river corridor, creating clearing conditions with moderate to steep hillside grades and the characteristic shale clay soils of central West Virginia upland terrain.
