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 and is 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 and community spirit of Mingo County residents, who have come together to support one another during difficult times.

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 productivity for its residents. The Senate also directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce to further promote awareness of Mingo County's contributions and heritage.
