to view homes for sale in West VirginiaThe state's rapid industrial expansion
began in the 1870s, drawing thousands of European immigrants and African
Americans into the region. Miners' strikes between 1912 and 1921 required the
intervention of state and federal troops to quell the violence.
Today, the state ranks second in total coal production, with about 15% of the
U.S. total. It is also a leader in steel, glass, aluminum, and chemical
manufactures. Major agricultural commodities are poultry and eggs, dairy
products, and apples.
Tourism is increasingly popular in mountainous West Virginia. More than a
million acres have been set aside in 37 state parks and recreation areas and in
9 state forests and 2 national forests. Major points of interest include Harpers
Ferry and New River Gorge National River, The Greenbrier and Berkeley Springs
resorts, the scenic railroad at Cass, and the historic homes in the Eastern
Panhandle.
