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. At various times, it has been known as Woodville, New Haven, and Westlake also. Named in honor of the Marquis de la Fayette, a major hero of the American Revolutionary War, Fayette County, West Virginia County, Virginia was created in 1831.
