Gauley Mills is a small, unincorporated community located in Webster County, West Virginia, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Gauley Mills sits right on the banks of the Gauley River, a bit to the east of another town called Camden-on-Gauley.
