Twilight is a small, unincorporated community located in Ohio County, West Virginia. It sits along Middle Wheeling Creek in the beautiful state of West Virginia, United States. Being "unincorporated" means it's not officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

A Glimpse into Twilight's Past
Twilight once had its very own post office. This post office was open from 1894 until 1902. After 1902, the mail for Twilight was sent to Triadelphia instead.
A map from 1902, created by the USGS, showed about ten buildings in Twilight. These would have been houses or other structures. By 1997, the number of buildings had grown slightly to about sixteen. This shows that Twilight has remained a small, quiet community over the years.
