FACTS ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION
Named in honor of Elizabeth, “Virgin Queen” of England, West Virginia is sometimes referred to as “the Switzerland of the United States” and is know as the Mountain State. It gets it nickname from its majestic landscape of mountains and hills.
The state is referred to as The Mountain State, and it is the only state in the nation located entirely in the Appalachian Mountain range, and in which all areas are mountainous. About 75% of the state is within the Cumberland/Allegheny Plateaus region. Though the relief is not high, the plateau region is extremely rugged in most areas.
On the southeastern state line with Virginia, high peaks in the Monongahela National Forest region give rise to an island of colder climate and ecosystems similar to those of New England and eastern Canada.
The native vegetation for most of the state was originally mixed hardwood forest of oak, chestnut, maple, beech, and white pine, with willow along the waterways. Many of the areas are rich in biodiversity and scenic beauty, a fact that is appreciated by native West Virginians, who refer to their home as almost Heaven.
The New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville is the second highest steel arch bridge in the United States. The bridge is also the longest steel arch bridge (1,700 feet) in the world. Every October on Bridge Day, the road is closed and individuals parachute and bungee cord jump 876 feet off the bridge. Its West Virginia’s largest single day event and attracts about 100,000 people each year.
