McCauley is a small, unincorporated community located in Hardy County, West Virginia, in the United States. An unincorporated community means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government.
Where is McCauley Located?
McCauley sits right on the Lost River. This river is quite special because it "sinks" into an underground channel nearby. After flowing underground for a bit, it reappears as the Cacapon River. You can find McCauley along West Virginia Route 55, a road that helps connect different parts of the state.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like McCauley is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate government like a city or town would. Instead, it's governed by the larger county it's in, which in this case is Hardy County. This means services like roads and police are handled by the county.
