Wheeling, WV – The Friendly City…City of Lights….Original Gateway To The West via the first bridge over the mighty Ohio River! Wheeling, WV is a riverfront community of approximately 30,000 residents. Our city grew and flourished during the industrial revolution, when the Wheeling area was home to the La Belle Cut Nail Company, Bloch Brothers Tobacco, Marsh-Wheeling Stogies, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, Fostoria Glass, and numerous coal-mining concerns that are still in operation today.

Our population is culturally diverse, having drawn immigrant residents from throughout the world in its early days. Wheeling holds the distinction of having been the state capitol for a time in the 1800s and the First State Capitol Building still stands today. The Upper Ohio Valley, with Wheeling as its centerpiece, is rich in history, cultural opportunities, commerce, tourism, and outdoor recreation.

The city is blessed with the only self-sustaining public park in the country, Oglebay Resort and Conference Center, which was originally a working farm known as Waddington Farm and once owned by shipping magnate Colonel Earl W. Oglebay (hailing from Millionaire’s Row in Cleveland, Ohio and founder of the Oglebay Norton Shipping Co. which built and ran the ship “The Edmund Fitzgerald” until it’s demise). The city also boasts the largest small-town symphony orchestra in the United States, the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra, and the longest-running live broadcast radio show via WWVA at the historic Capitol Music Hall.

Originally initiated as the Service League of Wheeling in 1930, the Junior League of Wheeling has been a part of this exciting and vital community for 75 years! Throughout our history, the Junior League of Wheeling has been committed to the City of Wheeling and its residents, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of women and children. Welcome to both the city and our organization!
