What it’s like
The place. Stonewood is a small city in Harrison County, West Virginia, where residents tend to be somewhat older than in much of the country. Homes here are modest in price, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, so the landscape stays green when it is warm.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops, or in manufacturing. Across Harrison County, some of the largest workplaces are United Hospital Center, Harrison County Schools and the West Virginia Air Center, which does aircraft maintenance and repair. The usual trip to work is fairly short, and unemployment in the county is low and a little lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. Center Branch Wildlife Management Area, a protected area, lies in or beside town. A short drive away are Watters Smith Memorial State Park and the Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center, a theatre. Valley Falls State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Stonewood’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.
