Wappocomo is a late 18th-century Georgian mansion overlooking the South Branch Potomac River north of Romney, West Virginia, United States. Wappocomo lies along West Virginia Route 28 and the South Branch Valley Railroad. The train station for the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad heritage railroad is located on the South Branch Valley Railroad at Wappocomo.Wappocomo was built by Nicholas Casey in 1774 with bricks made in England and used as ballast in vessels loading tobacco on the James River. The bricks were transported to Wappocomo over the mountain ridges in oxcarts. Casey named his plantation "Wappocomo" after a Native American word for the South Branch Potomac River, "Wappatomaka."
