West Virginia's nicknames are the Mountain State, Switzerland of America, and the Panhandle State. Below I'll explain the meaning of each nickname.
1. Mountain State - This is one of the nicknames because of West Virginia's rugged and high elevated terrain, including the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountain ranges.
2. Switzerland of America- This is another nickname because of the early settlers in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. They were from Switzerland, and they said that the terrain reminded them of home. The greatest example of Switzerland of America is Helvetia, West Virginia, where many old customs are still performed.
3. The Panhandle State - This is yet another nickname because West Virginia is the only state in the U.S. to have more than 1 panhandles. It has 2. One to the East and one to the North.
