Pemberton is a small place in West Virginia, United States. It is not a city or a town with its own local government. Instead, it's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's part of a larger county, Raleigh County, and the county government helps manage things there. Pemberton is located about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) east-northeast of a town called Sophia.
A Glimpse into Pemberton's Past
Pemberton once had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail. This post office served the community for many years.
