Here, Collis P. Huntington, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Railway, chose to put the westernmost terminal of the C&O in 1869. The statue outside the terminal, by Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of the famed Mount Rushmore monument in South Dakota, is of Huntington. Two years after the station's opening, the city of Huntington was incorporated. In 1873, the first C&O locomotive steamed into Huntington, completing a connection from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Ohio River which served to turn Huntington into a bustling city. The C&O remained the city's largest employer for the next century, with its large rail yards. Much of the city's fine architecture dates from this period of railroad dominance. | Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
