Claypool Hill

Among the communities of southwest Virginia, Claypool Hill stands out as a road crossroads on the U.S. 19/460 corridor, where Virginia Route 61 begins. It lies in Tazewell County’s coalfield country, among the wooded ridges of the Appalachian Mountains and near the Clinch River valley. The community serves as a commercial centre for the surrounding area, with businesses and services concentrated along the main highway rather than around a separate historic downtown. Coal mining has long shaped the economy and settlement pattern of this part of Virginia, while nearby Richlands forms part of the same local area.
