This reproduction panoramic map of Pennsboro, West Virginia was drawn by
Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer
in 1899. Situated on several hills, Pennsboro was established in the
early 1800's and attained their first railroad connection in the late
1850's.
The American Civil War slowed Pennsboro’s growth, but
immediately after the war, M. P. Kimball and J. E. Tyler built their
Kimball, Tyler & Company stave factory in town. The firm employed a
great number of people and Pennsboro prospered because of the
manufacturer for quite some time.
Charles R. Brown moved to town
in 1865 and opened a store that would later be turned into the Brown
Hotel. M. S. McCullough began a valuable marble works here in 1888. In
1899, Pennsboro’s popular Citizens Bank opened with Alex Prunty as
president. The bank changed to Citizens National Bank in 1904.
The map from 1899 includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad line.
