Lehew is a small, unincorporated community located in Hampshire County, West Virginia, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a group of homes and buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. It sits right on the border with the state of Virginia.
Lehew is found on a place called Timber Ridge. You can find it along West Virginia Route 259, where it meets H.G. Brill Road (which is also known as County Route 23/4) and White Pine Ridge Road (County Route 23/12). It is believed that the community was named after one of the first people who settled there a long time ago.
