The great 1849 Suspension Bridge of Wheeling extended the National Road west,
bringing people and goods
to the city. At the northernmost navigable port on the Ohio River, overland
routes, river traffic, and railroads
converged, attracting entrepreneurs who manufactured iron, steel, nails, textiles,
glass, tobacco, and other
goods. The Wheeling National Heritage Area preserves and celebrates the city's
dramatic setting, resources,
and history, including it's role as the birthplace of the state of West Virginia
during the Civil War.
