Jamestown is a small place located in Jefferson County, West Virginia, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it does not have its own separate local government, like a city or a town would. Instead, it is governed as part of the larger county.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a group of homes or businesses that are not officially part of a city or town. They are usually managed by the county government. People living in these areas still get public services. These services include things like roads, police, and fire protection. They are provided by the county.

Where is Jamestown Located?

Jamestown is found in the eastern part of West Virginia. It is very close to the border of Clarke County, which is in the neighboring state of Virginia. You can find Jamestown southwest of a place called Summit Point. It is located along County Route 2.
