History

It is situated on high bluffs along US Highway 60 on a portion of the Midland Trail a National Scenic Byway near Hawk's Nest, West Virginia Nest overlooking the New River (Kanawha River) River far below.

The area of what is now southern West Virginia was long a hunting ground for nomadic tribes of Native Americans in the United States before the arrival of Europeans in the 17th century. These people were known as "squatters," and built the Hopewell Baptist Church nearby. In 1792, a 400 acre (1.6 km²) tract of land in the area was patented to Charles Skaggs. The first county court was held that same year at Miles Manser's general store which stood nearby Ansted's current location along the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, an early roadway built to connect the canals on the James River (Virginia) and Kanawha Rivers. Ansted is a town in Fayette County, West Virginia County in the US state of West Virginia.
