Strong Cities. Strong State.
The West Virginia Municipal League is a statewide, nonprofit, nonpartisan association of cities, towns and villages established in 1968 to assist local governments and advance the interests of the citizens who reside within.
The League achieves this directive through legislative advocacy, research, education and other services for municipal elected officials. The membership includes all 230 municipalities' population in the state.
The central purpose of the League is to advance the interests and welfare of the people residing in the municipalities of our state. By cooperating through the League, cities benefit from research programs and a united legislative voice that would be impossible to maintain individually.

Our Programs
The West Virginia Municipal League offers several innovative and cost-saving programs designed specifically to meet the needs of municipalities. The League’s programs support the ability of cities, towns, and villages to exercise self-determination as much as possible, while creating solutions to local problems.
The League’s programs are valuable because they make it easier -- and less costly -- for municipalities to thrive! Just imagine for your municipality: more affordable and tailored coverage on a broad range of insurances; simplification of all types of equipment leasing; homeowner coaching on utility service line responsibilities; assistance with funding for community projects; streamlined driver safety education; and access to valuable resources that will enable your community to develop a more unified political voice.
