Discover Huntington
The land that became Guyandotte and later Huntington was part of the Savage Grant, 28,628 acres given to veterans of the French and Indian War. The first permanent settlements in the area, near Holderby's Landing, were founded in 1775 in defiance of British orders against settling west of the Alleghenies. French settlers of the Ohio Valley began building the town of Guyandotte in 1799. In 1821 the farmer James Holderby bought much of the land where Huntington now stands, and the area was known as Holderby's Landing until 1870. Land from his estate given in 1837 founded what is now Marshall University.
More about Huntington
The modern city was founded by Collis P. Huntington, one of the "Big Four" who built the Central Pacific Railroad, as the western terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, on land west of the mouth of the Guyandotte River between the Ohio River and Twelve Pole Creek. It was incorporated and named for him in 1870. Huntington left his brother-in-law, Delos W. Emmons, husband of his sister Mary, in charge of the new city, and Emmons's three sons played key roles in its growth. When the C&O was completed in 1873, it fulfilled the long-held hope of linking the James River at Richmond with the Ohio Valley by rail. The railroad later reached east to coal piers at Newport News and west to Cincinnati and Chicago, and Huntington grew from the small town of Guyandotte into a large rail city. Guyandotte was formally absorbed in 1891. Sources Wikipedia: Huntington, West Virginia
