Tioga is a census-designated place (CDP) in northeastern Nicholas County, West Virginia, United States. As of the 2010 census, its population was 98.[2] The town is located along a road alternatively called Tioga Road (County Route 3) in Nicholas County and Strouds Creek Road (County Route 11) in Webster County. The road can be accessed from West Virginia Route 20 in Allingdale and West Virginia Route 55 near Craigsville. However, Google Maps didn't bother to try mapping Tioga.

The community was named after Tioga County, Pennsylvania, the native home of several local lumbermen.[3]
