The resolution introduced on March 19, 2025, designates March 20, 2025, as Mingo County Day at the Legislature, recognizing the county's rich history and contributions to West Virginia. Established in 1895, Mingo County is the youngest county in the state, named after the Mingo people, an Iroquoian Native American group. The county has a significant historical background, particularly as a coal mining community and its involvement in the West Virginia Mine Wars and the Battle of Matewan. Recent challenges, including severe flooding in February 2025, have showcased the resilience of Mingo County residents, who have come together to support one another and their community.

In addition to its historical significance, Mingo County has developed a thriving tourism industry, highlighted by attractions such as the Hatfield-McCoy Trail and the King Coal Festival. The resolution acknowledges the county's efforts to diversify its economy and maintain a productive future for its residents. The Senate expresses its recognition of Mingo County's contributions and directs the Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce.
