Coal Grove occupies a low reach of the Ohio River valley in southern Ohio, where the rolling terrain of the Appalachian Plateau rises beyond the river corridor. The village stands in Lawrence County, with Kentucky directly across the river and Ironton nearby. Its name recalls the coal-mining economy that once shaped communities along this part of the Ohio River; the waterway also carried coal and industrial goods. Coal Grove belongs to the wider Huntington–Ashland–Ironton metropolitan area, a tri-state urban region centered on the river.
