== Fun facts ==
* Like most of heavily secessionist Southern West Virginia, Summers County was powerfully Democratic for the century-and-a-third following West Virginia statehood. It voted Republican only in the landslide wins of 1920, 1928 (aided by powerful anti-Catholic sentiment against Al Smith), 1972 and 1984. Like all of West Virginia there has been since 2000 a dramatic swing towards the Republican Party due to declining unionization and differences with the Democratic Party’s liberal views on social issues.
* Green Sulphur Springs takes its name from an underground spring containing sulfur. It was discovered in the 19th century by accident when prospectors were drilling for salt water.
* Hinton-Alderson Airport, a grass landing strip, is located near Pence Springs.
* Once a hot spot for travelers, Pence Springs is now a quiet community home to a large flea market, which is held in the area that was once used as the bottling facility by Andrew Pence. The water that flows from the spring won awards at the St. Louis Expo in 1904.
* Sandstone is the birthplace of Cornelius Burdette, winner of an Olympic gold medal.
