Reading a West Virginia ZIP code
West Virginia holds 851 ZIP codes between 24701 and 26886, spread over 55 counties. Charleston leads the state with 45 codes, ahead of Huntington with 40. Every code here opens with the digit 2: that opening number is the national postal region West Virginia belongs to, the next two digits name the sectional center that sorts the mail, and the final two point to the local office. A ZIP+4 suffix narrows delivery to a block face. Boundaries follow carrier routes rather than city limits, which is why Charleston spreads across 45 codes while some rural codes cross county lines.
