About Wheeling, West Virginia
Wheeling is a city of 27,052 people and the county seat of Ohio County, where Wheeling Creek runs into the Ohio River. Ebenezer Zane explored here in the fall of 1769 and claimed the land by "tomahawk rights," cutting marks into the bark of a few trees. He returned the next spring, bringing Elizabeth, his wife, along with Jonathan and Silas, two of his brothers, and they started the first lasting settlement here, which they called Zanesburg. Zane laid out lots in 1793, and Wheeling became a town by law in 1795. Virginia made it the county seat on December 27, 1797, and it became a city on March 11, 1836.
The National Road reached Wheeling in 1818, connecting the Ohio with the Potomac, so trade from the valley passed through on its way east. The Wheeling Suspension Bridge spanned the Ohio in 1849, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad arrived in 1853. When the Civil War began, the Wheeling Convention of 1861 met here and led western Virginia to break away. Wheeling then served twice as West Virginia's capital, first from 1861 until 1870 and later from 1875 until 1885.
“Wheeling became known as the Nail City because of its enormous output of cut nails at such factories as the La Belle Ironworks”
- Betty Zane's run in 1782The fort here was built in 1774 as Fort Fincastle and later renamed Fort Henry for Patrick Henry. During a siege in 1782 by Native and British forces, its defenders ran out of ammunition. Betty Zane offered to fetch more from the Zane homestead. She filled a tablecloth with gunpowder and ran back while soldiers shot at her. She was not hurt, and the fort stayed in American hands.
- No thanks, Mr. CarnegieIn 1904 Wheeling became the first American city to say no to Andrew Carnegie's offer of a free library. It turned the gift down because of his record with workers, above all the Homestead Strike of 1892. Labor had deep roots here: the United Nailers organized in 1860, and Samuel Gompers, Mother Jones and Eugene Debs all spoke when a national labor convention met in the city in 1897.
- German singers since 1855Many Germans settled in Wheeling, including immigrants who came after the 1848 Revolutions, and they stood firmly against slavery. They raised the First West Virginia Artillery to fight the Confederacy and helped lead the push to split from Virginia. Their German Singing Societies, the first of them founded in 1855, left a lasting mark on the city.
- Lincoln School, 1866 to 1954Lincoln School opened in 1866 for Wheeling's African American students, and Laura Grayson-Morison taught at its high school. A new Lincoln High School building opened in the early 1940s, and the school closed in 1954, when the schools were desegregated.
- 61,659 people in 1930Iron mills, steel plants and tobacco makers made Wheeling the new state's leading industrial center, and the city peaked at 61,659 people in the 1930 census. Well-off families built fine houses, especially on Wheeling Island. After the Great Depression and the changes in heavy industry that followed World War II, the city lost many working-class jobs and residents.
