Hundred reveals itself through the steady, rhythmic persistence of the Church Fork, which carves a narrow path through the landscape, guiding the eye toward the steep slopes of the surrounding terrain. It lies 21.7 miles northwest of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 309°T), and is situated 27.0 miles west of Morgantown. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, particularly as the evening light catches the moisture rising from the dense, hardwood-covered ridges that define the horizon. Just a mile away, the quiet depth of Billygoat Hollow serves as a reminder of the rugged, vertical nature of this topography, a land where the shadows of the Appalachian Mountains seem to loom in the distance, casting a long, protective influence over the quiet stretches of forest and clearing. At the center of this terrain, Hundred Park offers a modest, vital space where the local flora thrives in the damp, fertile soil, providing a grounding point amidst the expansive, unyielding woodland.

History in Hundred resonates in the quietude of the land, an echo of the extraction industries that once defined the regional economy and shaped the character of those who settled here. The town maintains a measured pace, where the legacy of coal and energy production remains visible in the architecture and the deliberate, hardworking spirit of the residents. While the bustle of larger centers feels far removed, the local life is punctuated by a deep sense of independence, an attitude forged by generations who understood the necessity of self-reliance in these hollows. Though the nearest water for leisure, Meadow Hills Lake, lies twelve miles away, the people of Hundred find their own quiet beauty in the seasonal changes of the foliage and the reliable, low-voiced flow of the local creek, grounding their daily existence in the realities of a landscape that demands respect and offers, in return, a profound and solitary peace.
