    3. Ok.. I went to topozone.... And here are the "Glen"s in Logan, Mingo, Raliegh, Fayette, Boone and surrounding areas. Glen Alum Mingo WV town/city 1138 feet Wharncliffe 37.585ºN 81.993ºW Glen Alum Junction Mingo WV town/city 811 feet Wharncliffe 37.543ºN 81.996ºW Glen Daniel Raleigh WV town/city 1902 feet Eccles 37.779ºN 81.337ºW Glen Ferris Fayette WV town/city 680 feet Gauley Bridge 38.153ºN 81.215ºW Glen Fork Wyoming WV town/city 1420 feet Matheny 37.696ºN 81.529ºW Glen Jean Fayette WV town/city 1600 feet Oak Hill 37.926ºN 81.150ºW Glen Morgan Raleigh WV town/city 2140 feet Beckley 37.756ºN 81.159ºW Glen Rogers Wyoming WV town/city 1880 feet McGraws 37.715ºN 81.418ºW Glen View Raleigh WV town/city 2480 feet Lester 37.741ºN 81.258ºW Glen White Raleigh WV town/city 2160 feet Lester 37.730ºN 81.280ºW Glen White Junction (historical) Raleigh WV town/city 1985 feet Eccles 37.761ºN 81.294ºW Glen Daniel is near Eccles... So this is the one you go through taking 99 to 3 into Beckley. The reason for so many towns being named "Glen" here's the wikipedia definition of glen A glen is a valley, typically one that is long, deep, and often glacially U-shaped, or a waterway running through such a valley. The word comes from the Irish Language/Scottish Gaelic language word gleann. As the name of a river, it is thought to derive from the Welsh language glan meaning clean, or gleindid meaning purity.
