Cold Stream is a small place in Hampshire County, West Virginia. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does.
Cold Stream is found north of a place called Capon Bridge. You can find it along Cold Stream Road. In the past, this community was sometimes called Edwards Run. This is because it's very close to where a stream called Edwards Run flows into the Cacapon River.
The community probably got its name from a nearby stream. This stream is known for having very cold water. The post office that used to be there is now closed.
