== Fun facts ==
* Politically, like most of Southern West Virginia, Wyoming County was historically powerfully Democrat-voting, although to a lesser extent than its neighbor McDowell. However, like most of the rest of the state, it has swung overwhelmingly Republican.
* Oceana was the subject of the 2013 documentary film Oxyana, which portrayed a bleak picture of a community affected by widespread abuse of the prescription painkiller Oxycontin. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
* While Mullens is the county's biggest community, most of the county's fast food is in either Oceana or Pineville. Oceana has a McDonald's, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, both have a Tudor's Biscuit World, and Pineville has an Arby's and a Dairy Queen. Pineville is also served by Wyoming County Airport, which is also known as Kee Field.
