About Saint Albans

Saint Albans is a charming city located in Kanawha County, at the confluence of the Kanawha and Coal Rivers. The city has a population of about 12,000 residents. The city was laid out in 1816, but was originally known as Philippi, and Philip Thompson, an early settler in the region. The name was later changed to Coalsmouth, because of its location at the mouth of the Coal River. In 1868, the city was incorporated as Kanawha City, but in 1871 the name was changed once again to St. Albans, after the city in Vermont.
