History

The City Charter was approved by voters in 1950. Many patrons come from the surrounding areas (Pennsylvania and Ohio) to take part in the gambling. Some civic leaders are attempting to attract businesses and homeowners from the economically thriving Pittsburgh area, marketing Weirton as a bedroom community, taking advantage of the close proximity to the Pittsburgh airport and major highways. During the early 1980's the employees of Weirton Steel endeavored to purchase the mill from National Steel Corporation as the largest ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program) in the nation, saving the mill from bankruptcy. It is a part of the Weirton-Steubenville metropolitan area Metropolitan Statistical area.

The small village called Holliday's Cove—which is now most of downtown Weirton—was founded in the late 1700s.
