Weirton, West Virginia is a small city in the northern portion of the state that straddles a small area between Ohio and Pennsylvania. The city was formed in 1947 as a combination of the then-unincorporated Weirton and a number of small surrounding cities, including Holiday Cove and Weirton Heights. Weirton has shrunk in recent decades as the main job market in the city – the steel industry – decreased severely. In fact, the city was larger in the early 20th century than it is today, a common theme among West Virginia cities that speaks to the need to improve the state’s abysmal job market.
The anchor that made Weirton work was Weirton Steel, a once great steel producer founded by Ernest T. Weir around the turn of the 20th century. While Weirton Steel remained one of the world’s largest producers of tin-plated steel in the early 20th century, the collapse of American manufacturing heralded a downward spiral for the company, which bled jobs into the 1980s. The company was bought out, and has changed hands several times since. Many remaining residents commute to work in Pittsburgh, roughly a 40-minute drive along a fairly direct route. As such, the median family income in Weirton is still at acceptable levels, and poverty rates are fairly low considering the city’s predicament.
Weirton has many of the great amenities of a small bedroom community. Get free Weirton auto transport quotes today to move to West Virginia.
