What Makes Charleston Home

Set along the Kanawha River, Charleston grew from an early frontier settlement into West Virginia’s capital and one of the state’s primary centers for business, government, industry, and culture. Its location along the river and later connections by rail and highway helped make the city an important transportation and commercial hub.

Today, Charleston remains the economic center of a larger region that includes Kanawha, Boone, and Clay counties. More than 9,300 businesses operate in the Charleston area, supported by a workforce spanning manufacturing, healthcare, technology, professional services, and other industries.

Industries That Move Charleston Forward

Charleston is powered by chemical manufacturing, automotive suppliers, healthcare, technology, professional services, and logistics.

Manufacturing remains an important part of Charleston’s economy. The region has a longstanding chemical and polymer industry supported by specialized infrastructure, while automotive component manufacturing includes major employers such as Toyota and NGK Spark Plugs.

Healthcare, technology, telecommunications, and professional services add diversity to the local economy. Charleston’s central location and connections to Interstate 64, Interstate 77, Interstate 79, rail, and regional transportation networks also support businesses that need to move materials and products throughout West Virginia and neighboring states.

That creates material handling needs across production facilities, warehouses, loading areas, service operations, and distribution centers. MH Equipment supports those businesses with forklifts, service, parts, rentals, fleet management, and warehouse solutions.

Things to Do Around Charleston

Charleston combines state history, arts, local food, outdoor recreation, and attractions along the Kanawha River.

West Virginia State Capitol

Charleston’s gold-domed State Capitol is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. The dome rises 292 feet and is gilded in 23.5-carat gold, while the surrounding Capitol Complex gives visitors space to explore the grounds and learn more about state government and history.

Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences

The Clay Center brings performing arts, visual art, science, and education together in one downtown facility. It includes the Avampato Discovery Museum, art galleries, a planetarium, theaters, and Maier Performance Hall, home to the West Virginia Symphony.

Capitol Market

Located in a former rail transfer station, Capitol Market combines an outdoor farmers market with indoor shops, restaurants, local products, and specialty foods. Seasonal produce, plants, and community events make it a year-round gathering place.

Kanawha State Forest

Just outside the city, Kanawha State Forest gives visitors access to thousands of acres of wooded trails and outdoor recreation while remaining within easy reach of downtown Charleston.
