Wilding is a small, quiet place in West Virginia, United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that aren't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger Jackson County.

A Bit of History

Like many small communities, Wilding has a past. At one time, it had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail.
