West Virginia Cities with Hotels
West Virginia, state of the eastern United States. West Virginia lies in the very heart of the Appalachian Highlands, and its predominantly mountainous terrain and picturesque scenery has led to its nickname as the Mountain State. The state's unusually irregular boundaries, formed largely by rivers and mountains, give it the shape of a large pan with two handles, one in the north and one in the east. For this reason it is sometimes called the Panhandle State.

West Virginia
West Virginia is known for its
magnificent scenery and its abundance of natural resources, including coal,
oil, gas, and timber. It is one of the leading producers of bituminous coal
among the states and is also noted for the manufacture of fine glass. West
Virginia, plagued for many years by economic stagnation, has recently
attempted to diversify its industrial activity. Yet the state remains one of
the poorest in the United States.
West Virginia entered the Union on June 20, 1863, as the 35th
state. It was part of Virginia until the American Civil War (1861-1865),
when its inhabitants, loyal to the Union, formed a separate state after
Virginia became part of the Confederacy. Charleston is West Virginia's
capital and largest city.
