View from Mount Wood Overlook, Mount Wood Road, East Wheeling, Wheeling, WV Founded in 1769 by Ebenezer Zane as a frontier settlement in the western reaches of the state of Virginia, known as Zanesburg, Wheeling was renamed in the 1790s to its present name, derived from the Lenni-Lenape term “Wih Link” or “Wee Lunk,” meaning “place of the head.” The city, incorporated as a town by the Virginia Legislature in 1805, grew rapidly following the completion of the National Road to the Ohio River at Wheeling in 1818, allowing for goods to pass by land from the east coast to the Ohio Valley. In 1849, the Wheeling Suspension Bridge was completed, allowing for the road to continue west across the Ohio River without the need for a ferry crossing, creating an unbroken transportation link between Vandalia, Illinois and Washington, DC. The city became connected to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1853, and developed a large mercantile class and industrial base, leading to it becoming culturally and politically distinct from most of Virginia. In 1861, Wheeling was the site of the Wheeling Convention, in which representatives from counties in the western mountainous portion and Ohio Valley region of Virginia voted to secede from Virginia, which had seceded from the United States to form part of the Confederate States of America. The city became the first capital of West Virginia, until the state government moved to Charleston in 1870. Despite losing the status of being a state capital, the city continued to grow due to industry and trade along the Ohio River, facilitated by its close proximity to other manufacturing centers and a large supply of coal within Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The city regained its status as the state capital in 1875, in part due to its status as the richest and most populous city in the state of West Virginia, but lost its status once again to Charleston in 1885, this time permanently. The city was a major manufacturing center for steel and iron products, especially nails, a major transportation hub, as it sat at the intersection of the Ohio River and the National Road, and several major tobacco companies. The city’s population and industrial prowess peaked in the 1930s, but the effects of the Great Depression, worsened by the 1936 Ohio River Flood, which inundated Wheeling Island and many other areas of the city, led to the population and economy to begin to stagnate, before facing a downward trend. The loss of jobs and population has continued ever since. Today, despite having lost two-thirds of its population since its peak, the city is in a beautiful location, nestled between tree-covered mountains and the Ohio River, and maintains many historical buildings, including many wonderful Victorian houses, Beaux Arts-style skyscrapers, walkable neighborhoods, and a charming public market. These factors give it a promising setup for revitalization and future growth. The city is very underrated for how beautiful of a place it is, and it is much less polluted than it did during its peak almost a century ago.
