Morgantown

Morgantown has been ranked as the No. 1 Small City in America, the Best Small City in the East, and the 3rd Best Small Town in the Nation. The natural beauty of Morgantown's well known mountain ridges and deep valleys is awe-inspiring, and provides a great opportunity for skiing, hiking, rock climbing, white-water rafting, snowboarding, hunting and fishing. Morgantown is home to the state's land grant institution, West Virginia University, and the city's beloved WVU Mountaineer sports teams. With a student enrollment of over 26,000, Morgantown offers all the amenities of a larger city while maintaining the pleasant, slower paced atmosphere of a smaller community.

Morgantown's economy is well grounded in the production of the state's abundant supply of natural resources such as coal and natural gas. However, the emergence of the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Center for Disease Control, the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Complex of West Virginia University Hospitals, the Software Valley, and the West Virginia High Technology Consortium, have diversified Morgantown's economy creating a vibrant community that is rapidly becoming the educational and business nucleus of the state with great expectations for future growth and development. Morgantown is located at the intersection of I-79 and I-68. The proximity to Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. is more than convenient by car or a short commuter flight from Hart Field, Morgantown's Municipal Airport.
