Situated in the United States of America, West Virginia shares its boundary with Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia. The Ohio River and Potomac River also form part of the boundary of the state. The south-western part of the state experiences a humid subtropical climate, while the higher elevations of the west have a humid continental climate.
Initially inhabited by the Native Americans, who used these hills as a hunting ground, the Confederate and Union armies used these very hills as the battleground during the Civil War.
