What is Bachman?
Bachman is an unincorporated community. This means it is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government. It is not a city or a town with a mayor or town council. Instead, it is governed by the larger county, which is Fayette County in this case.
Life in a Coal Town
Bachman is also called a coal town. This means it was a community built around a coal mine. Many people who lived there worked in the coal industry. Coal towns were common in West Virginia because of the many coal mines in the area. These towns often had houses, stores, and other services for the miners and their families.
