Is West Virginia a union state?

Yes but when West Virginia was admitted to the Union, it was considered a "border state". West Virginia broke off from Virgina, and was admitted to the Union, as a slave state, in June 1863, and did not secede from the Union. West Virginia broke off from Virginia because there was heavy dispute amongst the counties, which became West Virginia and Virginia, regarding the issue of secession.
