Morlunda is a small place located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government. Morlunda is about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northwest of a town called Lewisburg.
The Name Morlunda
How Morlunda Got Its Name
The name "Morlunda" comes from a small town in Sweden. This Swedish town is called Mörlunda and is found in the southern province of Småland.
What the Name Means
The word "Mörlunda" has a special meaning. It means "wooded marsh." This suggests that the area where the original Swedish town was located, and perhaps Morlunda in West Virginia, might have had many trees and wet, marshy land.
