West Virginia entered the Union in 1863.  It was the 35th state to do so.   Today the capital is Charleston.

West Virginia is known as the Mountain State due to Appalachian Mountains that run through the state.

West Virginia is bordered by Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The largest cities are Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, Wheeling and Morgantown.

The agriculture in West Virginia includes poultry, dairy products, apples and cattle.  Industries in the state include glass, stone and clay products, mining and tourism.
