Moundsville is a historic city located in Marshall County, West Virginia, along the Ohio River. The city derives its name from the Grave Creek Mound, one of the largest conical burial mounds in the United States, built by the Adena culture approximately 2,000 years ago. This prehistoric earthwork stands 69 feet high and 295 feet in diameter, serving as a significant archaeological landmark.
The city's cultural heritage is deeply connected to both Native American history and the region's industrial past. Moundsville was also known for its former West Virginia State Penitentiary, a Gothic-style prison that operated from 1876 to 1995, which now serves as a museum and cultural center. The city's location along the Ohio River played an important role in its development as an industrial and transportation hub during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
