Vulcan is an unincorporated community in Mingo County, West Virginia, United States. Vulcan is located along the Tug Fork across from the state of Kentucky.
In 1977, John Robinette, acting mayor of Vulcan, requested aid from external sources to replace the town's bridge. The bridge was the sole route to legally enter and exit the town, and it had collapsed two years previously.[2] The West Virginia government provided $1.3 million in funding to replace the bridge.[3][4]
