Located about 35 miles west of Pittsburgh in northern West Virginia, Weirton is a peaceful small town nestled between the Pennsylvania and Ohio borders. Weirton contains a rich history in the steel industry, and was the country’s fifth largest steel producer at its height in the early 20th century.

Today, Weirton is home to “The City Forged by Steel” Art Competition, which encourages growth of the arts throughout Weirton. A host of local events foster a sense of community in Weirton, including the annual Independence Day Festival and the Christmas Parade.

A quiet enclave from city life, Weirton offers quick access to recreational opportunities at Williams Golf and Country Club in addition to Hillman State Park, Raccoon Creek State Park, Tomlinson Run State Park, and the Ohio River. Weirton is also just minutes away from Pittsburgh’s many metropolitan amenities. Commuting and traveling from Weirton is easy with convenience to U.S. Route 22 and Pittsburgh International Airport.
