Hurricane: Putnam County Between Huntington and Charleston
Hurricane is in Putnam County along Interstate 64, roughly halfway between Huntington and Charleston. The city was founded in the early nineteenth century and takes its name, pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable locally, from Hurricane Creek, which was reportedly named after storm damage observed by early surveyors. Hurricane was incorporated in 1888 as the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway developed the settlement.
Interstate 64 brought substantial residential growth beginning in the 1970s, and Hurricane's population has roughly tripled since 1960. Putnam County overall has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing counties in West Virginia. The Walmart distribution center and various logistics and manufacturing operations along the I-64 corridor provide local employment, and many residents commute to Charleston or Huntington.
Hurricane High School's Redskins mascot became the subject of debate in the 2020s, with the school board voting in 2022 to retain it. Waves Park and Putnam County Memorial Park provide recreational amenities. The Winfield area to the east contains the Putnam County courthouse and government seat.
