West Virginia: Cities and Vacations

West Virginia Vacations: information about the history of West Virginia and cities.

Reviews

3/7/2010
Overall rating: 7

West Virginia has a total area of 62,809 sq km. With an approximate population of 1,808,400, its capital is Charleston.

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. Later the immigrant workers arrived, who came to work in the oil and gas, timber, coal and glass industries. All this has contributed in shaping the culture of the state.

A hills have eyes kinda place... Reminded me of the movie Deliverance. Keep your foot on the gas when going through this town. Your better off driving another 30 miles to real towns with people that aren't all related to each other.

I lived there 22 years of my life. Need more jobs (factories) that dont hire from out of town or you have to go out of town to get hire at the place. Have more attractions than just the haunted house and the mound.
