Gilbert Creek is an unincorporated community in Wyoming County, West Virginia, United States, nestled in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains and named after the Gilbert Creek that winds through the town. Once an important stronghold of the coal industry in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, traces of the miner's community's history remain in the form of old buildings and mine ruins. Today, the town is sparsely populated (less than 300 people) and is known for its natural beauty and country life, with 80% of the surrounding forest covered, making it ideal for hiking, fishing and bird watching. With residents engaged in agriculture or small-scale manufacturing, the community has a quiet, friendly atmosphere and retains traditional Appalachian culture, such as bluegrass music festivals and artisanal craft markets, which attract travelers looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city to explore.
