Low Gap is a small place in West Virginia, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's part of Boone County.
What's in a Name?
Low Gap got its name because of a special spot nearby. There was a low mountain pass close to where the community first started. A mountain pass is like a natural path or opening through mountains. This particular pass was "low," which means it wasn't very high up. This natural feature gave the community its unique name.
