Five Block is a small place in West Virginia, United States. It is not a city or a town with its own local government. Instead, it is an "unincorporated community." This means it is part of Logan County, and the county government helps manage things there.
Why is it called Five Block?
This community got its name from something special found underground! Five Block is named after a "coal seam" that runs through the area. A coal seam is a layer of coal that is found deep in the earth. This particular coal seam was known as the "Five Block" seam.
