About Caretta, WV

Caretta is an unincorporated community located in McDowell County, West Virginia, United States.

This coal town was originally owned first by The Virginia Pocahontas Coal Company, then by the Carter Coal Company, and the final operators in Caretta were the Consolidation Coal Company. Caretta's coal mine was connected to the mine in nearby Coalwood, made famous in the book Rocket Boys. The Carter Coal Company Store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
