	Little Kanawha River History
		Since the first coming of man to the Little Kanawha River valley, and continuing well into the twentieth century, the river was the highway into and out of the area.
		Not only did the river serve as a commercial highway, it also served the citizens of the area as a means of public transportation.
		With the coming of paved highways during the late 1920's and early 1930's, the use of the river as a mode of transportation declined and today it is difficult to imagine our river as having been anything other than the stream we know today.

	WVGES Geology: History of West Virginia Salt Industry
		The pioneers' victory at the Battle of Point Pleasant began the settlement of the Kanawha Valley and an increase in the importance of the Kanawha salt springs.
		This discovery set off a veritable frenzy of drilling and by 1815 there were 52 furnaces in operation in the "Kanawha Salines." In 1817, David Ruffner experimented with the use of coal in his furnaces, and soon all saltmakers had switched from wood to coal.
		Although the Kanawha salt industry declined in importance after 1861, the advent of World War I brought a demand for chemical products such as chlorine and caustic acid, which could be obtained from salt brine.
