Italians primarily settled in West Virginia in areas such as the coal mining regions, particularly around towns like Welch and Logan, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were drawn to the state for job opportunities in the booming coal industry. Many Italian immigrants established vibrant communities, contributing to the cultural landscape of the region with their traditions, food, and social clubs. The settlement patterns often reflected the availability of work and the establishment of mining operations.
