Stotesbury is an unincorporated community and former coal town in Raleigh County in the U.S. state of West Virginia that flourished during the 1930s. The community was named for Edward T. Stotesbury, then the president of Beaver Coal Company.
Stotesbury was the home of the late eight-term U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd. Currently there are only a handful of houses left from the once bustling town.
