Video Surveillance Systems in West Virginia

West Virginia is a state in the Appalachian region of the United States. The current estimated population is 1,850,326. The region was dominated by the Iroquois tribe until European settlers began arriving to the area in the 17th century. West Virginia was originally organized as part of the Virginia Colony and later the state of Virginia. The vast differences between the people and terrains of the western and eastern portions of Virginia caused many to desire that the western portion of the state be separated into its own state. After the Wheeling Convention in the early 1860s, West Virginia was separated from Virginia and admitted as the 35th state in 1863. The new state of West Virginia remained part of the Union during the Civil War and was admitted as a free state. West Virginia has significant mineral resources and mining became the dominant industry in the state. In 1909, a railroad was built to transport coal from West Virginia to the coast for export. Coal mining remains an important industry in West Virginia and the state is one of the top coal producers in the country. Top employers in the state include Wal-Mart, West Virginia United Health System and Consol Energy.
