West Virginia i/ˌwɛst vərˈdʒɪnjə/ is a state located in the Appalachian region of the Southern United States. It is bordered by Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the southwest, Ohio to the northwest, Pennsylvania to the north (and, slightly, east), and Maryland to the northeast. West Virginia is the 41st largest by area and the 38th most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and largest city is Charleston.
West Virginia became a state following the Wheeling Conventions of 1861, in which delegates from some Unionist counties of northwestern Virginia decided to break away from Virginia during the American Civil War, although they included many secessionist counties in the new state. West Virginia was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863, and was a key Civil War border state. West Virginia was the only state to form by separating from a Confederate state, the first to separate from any state since Maine separated from Massachusetts, and was one of two states formed during the American Civil War (the other being Nevada, which separated from Utah Territory).
West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin declared a state of emergency in 44 counties Thursday night, deploying 500 National Guard troops to assist with the state’s worst flood in a century. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC » Watch more NBC video: http://bit.ly/MoreNBCNews NBC News is a leading source of global news and information.

West Virginia's major party nominees for governor went head-to-head Tuesday, Oct. 4, in the first of two debates before November’s general election. The two businessmen focused mainly on the state’s economic issues. Democratic billionaire and Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice emphasized his business acumen and the fact that he is a political outsider during the hour-long debate. Republican state Senate President and car dealer Bill Cole touted himself as a leader who can make tough decisions when it comes to cutting government. “We need a governor who has the guts and the will to right-size, to streamline and modernize our state government at the same time we increase our revenues,” Cole said. While Cole said there are more efficiencies to be found in state government, Justice disagre...

At a town hall event in March, Hillary Clinton said she was going to put coal companies out of business. Now she is in West Virginia, and has walked that statement back. John Iadarola and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. “In March, speaking about renewable energy at a CNN town hall, Hillary Clinton described herself as “the only candidate” with “a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country. Because we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right? … And we’re going to make it clear that we don’t want to forget those people.” “Those people” didn’t forget her either, or her words about putting them “out of business,” in part...
When you hear the word “ginseng” you might think about a wild plant that grows in the hills of Appalachia … and you would be right, that’s the good stuff. But there’s another way ginseng grows that’s a little less wild. Basically, we’re talking about ginseng farming in the forest, which can yield roots as valuable as the wild stuff. So is it a viable business for West Virginians? Well, there are some rules and regulations that might be hindering growth, but experts say there are ways to promote the industry.
via http://divisionoflabour.com/archives/003767.php West Virginia ranks dead last in economic freedom according to a new book that's generating a lot of buzz around the Mountain State. Each chapter of "Unleashing Capitalism: Why Prosperity Stops at the West Virginia Border and How to Fix It" opens with a satellite photo of economic activity on the other side of the state line. "We have two or three Fortune 500 companies within a mile of our state border --- right on the other side--- and zero inside our state," said Dr. Russell Sobel, the book's editor. Sobel, an economist from West Virginia University, and two dozen colleagues studied the problem and compiled the book, full of essays and suggested policy reforms for making West Virginia more competitive. The authors said th...
