I grew up in Pocahontas county, and I've camped on the headwaters of this river several times, but I've never heard it called the "Tygart Valley River". We just call it the Tygart River. It's pronounced TIE-girt (I don't know exactly how to use the IPA, but it would be something like /ˈtaɪɡɝt/). There's a high school in Mill Creek, in Randolph County, called Tygart Valley High School, but that is the only instance I can think of in the local vocabulary where the words "Tygart" and "valley" are coupled.
