West Virginia has a predominantly continental
climate with cool winters and warm summers. Due to
the height differences, the regional climate
fluctuations are considerable. In summer, strong
thunderstorms, sometimes with torrents, are not
uncommon. Hurricanes and tornadoes are rare. In
winter, temperatures rarely reach freezing. From
December to February the temperatures are slightly
below the zero degree mark. Summers are warm but
pleasant with temperatures between 18 and 28
degrees.
A less favorable population development in West
Virginia
West Virginia is heavily unionized and
therefore predominantly represents democratic
senators, governors and representatives. Well over
fifty percent of government revenue is generated by
the tourism sector.
West Virginia is still largely dependent on
mining, but it is no longer as quiet as it was in
the early days of the industrial age. The connection
to modernity like other neighborhoods with
innovative industrial West Virginia has long
failed. As a result, population growth here was
significantly lower compared to other states.
According to
allcitypopulation, the influx was positive between 1800 and 1900,
the values ranged between 17 and 41 percent. In
these 100 years, the population grew from 78,500 to
958,800 residents. Until 1940, more people moved
to this rural area, but only 10 to 27 percent. From
1950, the influx rates decreased regularly, in some
years even negative values, i.e. a decrease in the
population, were reached. These values reached up
to -7.2 percent.

This is probably due to the fact that young,
well-educated people are moving away. West Virginia
is one of the states with the lowest proportion of
academics and higher educated residents. At the same
time, West Virginia has the least number of
residents who speak a language other than the
official language English at home.
White Americans of German, Italian, Irish and
English descent are at home here alongside Americans
with no foreign roots.
Sights that no visitor should miss
Harpers Ferry National Historic Park
Anyone interested in the American Civil War is in
the right place in West Virginia, because this state
has preserved its past and built numerous historic
sites and monuments that are part of the Civil War
Trail.
Harpers Ferry National Historic Park commemorates
the militant slave opponent John Brown, who raided
an arms store in Harpers Ferry in 1859. 18 followers
supported him in this project, which was
unsuccessful. John Brown was discovered, arrested,
and later hanged.
New Gorge River and National Park
The New Gorge River meanders through an
impressive gorge, whose rapids are very popular with
rafting fans. The second highest steel bridge in the
world runs across this gorge.
This arched bridge is used on four lanes and is
so impressive that it is released once a year for
pedestrians and extreme athletes. If you want to
learn more about this impressive area, visit the
Canyon Rim Center north of Beckley.
Oglebay Resort
The 600-hectare city park is an ideal destination
for families, as it is not just a picnic in the
country. There are numerous ways to actively pass
the time, for example in the zoo, in the garden
center or in the museum. Scientific demonstrations
form an interesting supporting program. Various
sports facilities provide additional diversion.
Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine
An interesting way to take a trip back in time,
because former miners lead through the now
decommissioned coal mine during a comfortable
journey in replica mine cars.
Organ cave
The Organ Cave is part of a large system
of limestone caves. The name says it all, because
one of the stone formations has the shape of an
organ.
Lost World Caverns
Visitors actually have the impression of being in
a fascinating, lost world away from any
civilization, because here waterfalls, stalagmites
and bizarre rock formations dominate the picture. |
