Uneeda, West Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uneeda is an unincorporated community on the Pond Fork River in Boone County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The town lies along West Virginia Route 85. Uneeda's post office has been in operation since it was established in 1902.
On February 1, 2006, a bulldozer operator was killed at the Black Castle Surface Mine operated by Massey Energy Company's subsidiary Elk Run Coal Company in Uneeda. This fatality along with another one in a separate incident in Wharton, also in Boone County, caused West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin to call for a "stand-down on mine safety" at West Virginia's mines.
