Adolph is a small, unincorporated community located in Randolph County, West Virginia, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county. This community was once known by a different name, West Huttonsville. In 1977, the official name was changed to Adolph by the Board on Geographic Names.
