Weirton Moving Guide

The community itself actually was started in 1909 by Ernest T. Weir, for whom the city is named, and his associates. When the first Weirton mills were built, some 25 houses were constructed on nearby hillsides. Then, it was more general construction and more houses. Today, there are thousands of new, modern homes blanketing the city. Stores, churches, schools, and everything else that goes into making a town also have increased in number.
