Maysville is a small place in Grant County, West Virginia, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Maysville was once the very first "county seat" for Grant County. A county seat is like the main office for a county, where important government buildings are located.
